Although their love story is cute, Nayanthara suffered several failed relationships. However, she soon found true love in Vignesh Shivan.
They made their first public appearance as a couple at an awards ceremony in Singapore. When Vignesh was declared the Best Director, he announced Nayanthara from the stage and called her the “best human being.”
Although they were a couple, this did not stop them from delivering several hit movies. After Naanum Rowdy Dhaan, the couple jointly produced a super hit movie called, Koozhangal (Pebbles). The movie was critically acclaimed. Their last movie together was the love triangle, Kaathu Vaakula Kaadhal. Nayanthara played the role of Kamini. Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Vijay Sethupathi co-starred in the movie.
