Initial Disbelief and Heartfelt Confessions
RJ Balaji, who has witnessed their relationship blossom firsthand, shared that he was among the first friends to learn about the romance directly from Vignesh Shivan. "Vignesh came to me and confessed he was in love with Nayanthara. I told him, 'Hey, stop joking and be serious,'" Balaji recalled with a smile. He admitted his initial skepticism, adding that Vignesh persistently insisted on the truth of his feelings.
"He said, 'No, I am serious. This is real.' I honestly could not believe it at first," Balaji revealed, noting he even felt a moment of shock. "I asked him again, 'Are you sure Nayanthara really loves you?' When he said yes, it felt like my heart was about to burst," he said, eliciting laughter from the crowd.
Verification and Enduring Affection
To confirm the news, RJ Balaji took matters into his own hands by approaching Nayanthara directly. "I went to Nayanthara and asked her, 'Do you really love Vignesh?' She smiled and said yes," he recounted. This moment solidified his belief in their bond, which he described as unwavering over time.
"The way they loved each other then is exactly how they still love each other now, with the same warmth and affection," Balaji emphasized, highlighting the couple's consistent and strong connection. He also mentioned that many industry peers, including composer Anirudh Ravichander and actor Pradeep Ranganathan, hold Vignesh Shivan in high regard.
