Nayanthara, often called the “Lady Superstar” of South Indian cinema, celebrated her 40th birthday on November 17, 2024, with husband and filmmaker Vignesh Shivan. Unlike the typical lavish parties hosted by celebrities, the duo chose to spend the evening at a popular restaurant in Delhi. The low-key celebration was intimate, personal, and highlighted the couple’s love for simple joys.
Vignesh shared a heartwarming video on social media, capturing the moment when they finally found a table after waiting for 30 minutes. In the video, Nayanthara, dressed casually in a t-shirt and jeans, appeared unrecognizable to many patrons. Vignesh expressed gratitude to a kind stranger who captured their sweet moment and shared how the dinner felt like one of the most genuine birthday celebrations they’ve had.
Fans Discuss Nayanthara’s Netflix Documentary
As Nayanthara celebrated her milestone birthday, fans were buzzing about her Netflix documentary, Nayanthara: Beyond the Fairytale, which released last week. The documentary offered a behind-the-scenes look at the actress’s life and career, showcasing her journey from a small-town girl to a celebrated actress.
However, the documentary hasn’t been free from criticism. Some fans expressed disappointment over its execution and content, sparking debates online. Despite the mixed reactions, Nayanthara continues to focus on the positive feedback and enjoys her personal moments with Vignesh, showcasing her grounded and resilient personality.
Dhanush’s Lawsuit Adds Drama to the Headlines
The release of the documentary also brought legal trouble for the actress. Actor Dhanush filed a Rs 10 crore lawsuit against the makers of the documentary for including a 3-second behind-the-scenes clip from their film Naanum Rowdy Dhaan. The scene was used without the actor’s permission, leading to his legal action.
The lawsuit has drawn attention to copyright issues in the entertainment industry, with fans and critics weighing in on the matter. Despite the ongoing controversy, Nayanthara seems unperturbed and has chosen to focus on her personal and professional life, celebrating milestones with her loved ones and relishing the success of her career. As Nayanthara rings in her 40th year, she continues to captivate audiences with her charm, talent, and humility, proving why she remains one of the most beloved actresses in Indian cinema.
