Dhanush played a key role in Nayanthara and Vignesh Shivan’s love story
Nayanthara and Vignesh Shivan are one of the most admired couples in the South Indian film industry. Their love story began in 2015 when Nayanthara signed on to work in the film Naanum Rowdy Dhaan, directed by Vignesh. During the production, the two became close, sparking rumors about their relationship. Nayanthara, who had experienced two failed relationships before, found a connection with Vignesh that would change her life.
Co-star Mansoor Ali Khan once revealed that the couple would spend hours talking on set, though they kept their relationship private at first. It wasn’t until 2017, at an award show, that they made their first public appearance as a couple. They openly supported and thanked each other during their acceptance speeches, marking a turning point in their relationship’s public acknowledgment.
Following this, the couple was frequently spotted visiting religious sites and traveling abroad, further solidifying their bond. In interviews, both Nayanthara and Vignesh credited actor Dhanush for playing an instrumental role in bringing them together. According to Vignesh, Dhanush convinced Nayanthara to join the project, which also led to the involvement of actor Vijay Sethupathi. This allowed Vignesh to spend more time with Nayanthara, and their relationship blossomed.
