Nayanthara Discusses Her Past Relationship And Career Pressures In New Documentary

Nayanthara, a prominent figure in Tamil cinema, has recently been in the spotlight due to her professional endeavours. A controversy arose involving a 10-crore lawsuit with Dhanush over a brief behind-the-scenes clip from their film 'Naanu Rowdy Dhaan' used in her Netflix documentary 'Nayanthara: Beyond The Fairytale'. This 2015 Tamil film was produced by Dhanush and featured both Nayanthara and her husband Vignesh Shivan.

'Nayanthara: Beyond The Fairytale', now available on Netflix, delves into the life of actress Nayanthara beyond her public persona. The documentary highlights her journey to fame, personal struggles, and relationship with director Vignesh Shivan, offering viewers an intimate glimpse into her life.

In the documentary, Nayanthara candidly discussed a past relationship that had a significant impact on her career. She shared that someone she loved asked her to quit acting after working on the film 'Sri Rama Rajyam'. "Sri Rama Rajyam was an emotional film for me, and I decided it would be my last," she revealed. "The person I was in love with asked me to stop working after that film. I was already dealing with so much pressure from the man I wanted to marry regarding my career. Those two years were the most painful of my life."

Although she did not name anyone specifically, many online speculated that she was referring to Prabhu Deva.

Currently married to Vignesh Shivan, Nayanthara welcomed twin boys Uyir and Ulagam through surrogacy in October 2022. Her dating history has often been a topic of interest among fans and media alike.
