New Delhi. Nayanthara, the ‘Lady Superstar’ of South films, was in the headlines recently due to her documentary film ‘Beyond the Fairytale’. In this documentary film, Nayanthar’s journey of becoming a ‘Lady Superstar’ was depicted well, but there came a time in the life of the actress when she distanced herself from her first love, acting, for the sake of love. The actress had given up acting in 2011 because of her boyfriend Prabhudeva and was completely away from the silver screen for almost two years.

In an interview with The Hollywood Report, Nayanthara talked about her decision to take a break from films on the advice of her then boyfriend Prabhudeva. The actress says, ‘I was going through a phase in my life when I felt that I would have to sacrifice something to get love.’ The actress told that the kind of relationships she had in the industry had a deep impact on her thinking.

Gave up acting for love
She says, ‘There are so many different types of relationships in our industry. I am not saying it is wrong, but we all saw this industry like this for a very long time, like second marriage and many more. At that time I thought he was fine. The little girl inside me felt that if I wanted love, I would have to make some sacrifices. At that time I used to think that if your partner doesn’t like something then you have to leave it, this was my understanding of love at that time.

Prabhudeva’s wife had threatened
Prabhudheva and Nayanthara dated for many years. While dating the actress, Prabhudeva was already married and the father of two children. Due to this relationship, there was an uproar in Prabhudeva’s married life and the actor’s wife also abused Nayanthara in public. She had even said that if Nayanthara came in front of her, she would kill her.

Nayanthara and Vignesh Shivam dated for 8 years
The relationship between Nayanthara and Prabhudeva did not last long. In June 2022, the actress married director Vignesh Shivam. The couple also has two twin children. They met on the sets of the film Naanum Rowdy Dhaan and dated for almost 8 years before tying the knot. Nayanthara’s marriage and love story is also shown in the documentary.
