Mon Nov 18 15:54:31 UTC 2024: ## Nayanthara Opens Up About Past Relationships in New Netflix Documentary
**MUMBAI, INDIA** – Acclaimed South Indian actress Nayanthara has broken her silence on past relationships in Netflix’s new documentary, *Nayanthara: Beyond the Fairytale*, released November 18th. The film offers a candid look at the emotional toll of her high-profile romances and the societal pressures she faced.
Without explicitly naming names, Nayanthara discusses two significant relationships. The first, believed to be with actor-filmmaker Silambarasan TR, ended abruptly amidst controversy, impacting her mental health. Co-star Nagarjuna recalls witnessing the strain, stating Nayanthara became withdrawn and distressed during this period.
Her subsequent relationship with choreographer-turned-director Prabhu Deva proved even more challenging. Nayanthara reveals that Prabhu Deva asked her to quit acting, a demand that put immense pressure on her career. Their relationship, marked by public declarations of marriage plans, ultimately failed due to the complexities of Prabhu Deva’s then-ongoing marriage.
Nayanthara reflects on the intense public scrutiny and unfair criticism she endured, highlighting the double standard applied to her compared to her male counterparts. She notes that the lack of public comment on her part led to rampant speculation and negative assumptions.
After a two-year break from acting, Nagarjuna’s support helped Nayanthara relaunch her career. Her collaboration with Vignesh Shivan on *Naanum Rowdy Dhaan* marked a turning point, evolving into a romantic relationship that culminated in their marriage in June 2022. The couple recently welcomed twin boys.
*Nayanthara: Beyond the Fairytale* offers a deeply personal and revealing account of the actress’s life, showcasing her resilience and triumph over adversity. The documentary is currently streaming on Netflix.
