Nayanthara receives a sweet birthday wish from hubby Vignesh Shivan amid controversy with Dhanush

On her 40th birthday today, November 18, Nayanthara received a touching birthday message from her husband, Vignesh Shivan. He took to his Instagram stories to pen a heartfelt note, expressing his deep affection for Nayanthara and his immense pride in her.

“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 wrote, sharing a glimpse of himself watching the documentary ‘Nayanthara – Beyond The Fairy Tale’. 

Nayanthara also reposted on Instagram and wrote,"I Love You."

Recently, Nayanthara wrote an open letter to the Tamil actor Dhanush, criticizing him for denying her the use of elements from their 2015 film 'Naanum Rowdy Dhaan'. She mentioned that when seeking permission to include visuals from the movie in her Netflix documentary, Dhanush not only refused but also sent her a legal notice demanding Rs 10 crore in damages.

“This is an all-time low from you and speaks so much about your character. I wish you were half the person you portray to be on stage in audio launches in front of your innocent fans but clearly you do not practice what you preach, at least not for me and my partner," a part of her post read.
