Nayanthara and husband-director Vignesh Shivan fell in love on the sets of the 2015 movie Naanum Rowdy Dhaan and tied the knot in June 2022. Shah Rukh Khan and Rajinikanth were among the few guests who attended the lavish ceremony in Mahabalipuram.
The couple welcomed their twin boys, Uyir and Ulag, via surrogacy in October.
