Filmmaker Vignesh Shivan and actress Nayanthara got married in an intimate ceremony attended by select guests from the film industry in Chennai on Thursday.

Thirty-six-year-old Vignesh and 37-year-old Nayanthara were reportedly dating for nearly seven years.

Vignesh penned a heartfelt note for fiancee and actor Nayanthara ahead of their wedding on Thursday.

In an Instagram post, the filmmaker dedicated their wedding day to his ‘Thangamey’ (beloved), a term of endearment which draws its inspiration from the title of the song of their first film Naanum Rowdy Dhaan (2015).

“Today is June 9th and it’s Nayan’s thanking God, the universe, the Good will from all the lovely human beings who have crossed My life!! Every good soul, every good moment, every good coincidence, every good blessing, everyday at shooting and every prayer that has made life this beautiful!,” he wrote in the post.

“I owe it all to the good manifestations & prayers! Now, It’s all dedicated to the love of my life! #Nayanthara! My #Thangamey! Excited to see u walking up the aisle in a few hours! (sic),” Shivan wrote alongside a picture with Nayanthara.

According to reports, the couple tied the knot in the afternoon in a traditional South Indian wedding ceremony at a five-star hotel in Mahabalipuram. Vignesh took to Twitter to break this news later in the day.

Directors Mani Ratnam, Atlee, and actors Rajinikanth and Shah Rukh Khan were among those from the film industry who attended the wedding ceremony.

“Darling Nayan & @wikkiofficial wedding diaries @iamsrk sir chief & @poojadadlani02,” Atlee wrote on Instagram.

Recently, Atlee and Shah Rukh had announced their much-awaited collaboration Jawan, which reportedly marks the Hindi film debut of Nayanthara.

A top star, Nayanthara has worked across the Tamil, Telugu and Malayalam film industries. She is known for her work in Chandramukhi, Ghajini and Puthiya Niyamam. Vignesh is best known for directing Tamil movies Thaanaa Serndha Koottam and Paava Kadhaigal.
