Love stories in the world of cinema often fade with time, but some stand tall, shining brighter with each passing year. One such heartwarming tale is that of actor Nayanthara and director Vignesh Shivan, who recently marked their third wedding anniversary with a beautiful, intimate celebration. The couple, who tied the knot in June 2022, once again reminded fans what true love looks like—through shared laughter, poetic words, and cherished family moments.
A Picture-Perfect Anniversary Celebration
Nayanthara took to Instagram on Tuesday to share a glimpse of their anniversary celebration, offering fans a look into their quiet, love-filled day. The post, a carousel of candid and cozy photographs, quickly captured hearts online. From serene coffee shop conversations to forehead touches full of emotion, the couple looked deeply in sync—showing that love isn’t just in grand gestures, but in everyday companionship.
Among the highlights was a tender moment where Vignesh rested his head on Nayanthara's shoulder, a simple yet powerful expression of affection. In another, the couple closed their eyes and gently leaned forehead to forehead, radiating peace, comfort, and unspoken connection. Nayanthara captioned the post with a heartfelt poem, expressing the depth of her feelings.
"You Are Everything My Soul Has Ever Wanted"
Accompanying the pictures was a short yet stirring poem penned by Nayanthara herself. The words resonated with her followers:
“May you often wonder who loves the other more, and may you never find the answer.
Don’t know how else to describe us ❤️
You are everything my soul has ever wanted 😇
From two of us to four of us…
Couldn’t have asked for more 😇🧿
You showed me what LOVE should be like!”
The poem not only celebrates their love but also reflects their journey as a family. From a couple to proud parents of twin boys, Uyir and Ulag, the duo has gracefully embraced each new chapter of life.
Uyir and Ulag Make a Rare Appearance
What made the post even more special was the inclusion of their twin sons. In the pictures, Uyir and Ulag were seen in coordinated blue-and-white sweaters and black pants, adding a dash of charm and innocence to the occasion. The children, typically kept away from the media glare, made a rare and welcome appearance, sharing the limelight with their parents on this joyous day.
Nayanthara looked effortlessly elegant in a white top, matching pants, and a green blazer, while Vignesh kept it casual with a cream T-shirt and shorts. The family exuded warmth and closeness, embodying the modern definition of love—equal parts romance, friendship, and shared responsibility.
