Nayanthara reveals why she ditched Christian attire for her wedding; opens up on converting to Hindu

As a lifestyle expert with decades of experience under my belt, I must say that Nayanthara’s journey is nothing short of inspiring. Her decision to embrace her partner’s culture and traditions while still honoring her own roots is a testament to her open-mindedness and adaptability. It’s truly fascinating how she managed to blend two cultures seamlessly in her wedding, creating a unique fusion that resonates with millions worldwide.


Actress Nayanthara is generating quite a buzz following the release of her documentary film “Nayanthara: Beyond the Fairytale” on streaming platform Netflix. In this documentary, she disclosed her intention to marry Vignesh Shivan in a traditional Hindu ceremony, after previously practicing Christianity, and subsequently converting to Hinduism.

In a straightforward manner, the actress expressed her intention for a traditional Hindu wedding, despite being born into a Christian family. She explained, “Although I was raised Christian, my mother always dreamed of seeing me in a Christian wedding dress. Since I converted to Hinduism, it is now necessary for us to arrange a Hindu ceremony.

Furthermore, the actress opted for a unique blend of traditions, choosing to hold her wedding ceremonies that combined elements from Hindu and Christian customs, thus reflecting influences from both cultures.

Nayanthara and Vignesh Shivan tied the knot in 2022, having been together for a number of years prior. However, as reported by News18, their initial plan to marry at the Tirupati temple was postponed due to unexpected logistical complications.

As a devoted partner, we ultimately decided to tie the knot in Mahabalipuram on the very date we had originally chosen. Now, two years into our marriage and blessed with twins, a documentary has revealed not only our wedding memories but also insights into various aspects of my life.

It’s worth noting that Nayanthara’s documentary faced allegations of copyright infringement, sparking a public dispute with Dhanush. For those not in the know, Nayanthara and Vignesh Shivan previously collaborated on the film Naanum Rowdy Dhaan, which was produced by Dhanush under his production banner, Captain Miller.

To incorporate BTS clips from the movie into her docuseries, it seems the actress attempted to secure permission (a No Objection Certificate, or NOC) from Dhanush, but he declined. Nevertheless, the footage was included in the documentary, leading to Dhanush filing a lawsuit against her and demanding a compensation of 100 crores (Rs 10 crores).

These events culminated in Nayanthara writing an open letter criticizing another actor, which garnered mixed responses from internet users and industry professionals. Additionally, the actress recently published a heartfelt thank-you letter to all production company owners who granted her necessary permissions for the documentary, including Shah Rukh Khan, Chiranjeevi, and Ram Charan.
