Actor Nayanthara was all praise for her husband, director Vignesh Shivan, at their new brand's success bash. Talking about how it’s not often one hears of a man standing behind a successful woman, she credited him for helping her get to the stage she is at today. Nayan got candid about how Vignesh was the man behind her success.
She said, “We have heard that phrase that there is a woman behind every man’s success. But it’s rare to see a man stand for a successful and happy woman. I haven’t seen that a lot. I met my husband through a film. We fell in love and got married because since the day I met him, he has only taught me to aim for bigger things.”
The actress also stated that she believed Vignesh was the kind of man who did not question her decisions but pushed her to do more. She said, “He has never questioned my decisions. I always thought it’s a good thing if people don’t question us. But, we also need a person to say, ‘why aren’t you doing more, why are you stopping with this?’ I found that person in Vignesh.”
The couple met on the sets of the 2015 Vignesh directorial ‘Naanum Rowdy Dhaan.’ They went on to get married in 2022 and later welcomed twin sons, Uyir and Ulag.
On the work front, Nayan was last seen in the 2023 film ‘Annapoorani: The Goddess of Food.’ The film is currently at the centre of a controversy, hit with allegations of hurting religious sentiments.
