Nayanthara receives birthday wishes from Vignesh Shivan amid Dhanush feud: ‘My respect for you…'”
Nayanthara is celebrating her 40th birthday today, November 18. On this special occasion, her husband, Vignesh Shivan, shared a heartfelt message for the actress on Instagram. He expressed his love and pride, writing, “Happy birthday my uyir… My respect for you is million times more than the love I have for you! For who you are my thangamey!” He also shared a moment of himself watching Nayanthara – Beyond The Fairy Tale, the actress’s Netflix documentary.
This birthday tribute comes amid headlines about Nayanthara’s ongoing feud with Tamil actor Dhanush. Recently, she penned an open letter criticizing Dhanush for denying permission to use footage from their 2015 film Naanum Rowdy Dhaan in her documentary. Nayanthara revealed that she had sought his approval to use visuals from the film but was met with a refusal and a legal notice demanding Rs 10 crore in damages.
In her letter, Nayanthara expressed her disappointment, writing, “This is an all-time low from you and speaks so much about your character.” She added that Dhanush’s actions contradicted the persona he portrays in public, especially in front of his fans during audio launches.
Vignesh Shivan, who directed Naanum Rowdy Dhaan, supported his wife by sharing the controversial BTS clip on Instagram. He mocked Dhanush’s legal threat, posting, “The 10 crores clip that wants to be taken down from our Netflix Documentary. Pls watch it here for free. #SpreadLove sir.”
The tension between Nayanthara and Dhanush has sparked significant attention, with Vignesh continuing to stand by his wife during the dispute.
