Nayanthara and Prabhu Deva are two of the biggest names in the South film fraternity and both of them enjoy a humongous fan following down South. While Nayanthara’s popularity is unbeatable due to her women-centric films, Prabhu Deva is one of the most celebrated actor, director and dance choreographer down South.
But readers, did you know that at one point in time, both Nayanthara and Prabhu Deva were extremely close to each other? As per reports in Koi Moi, back in 2009, rumours of them dating began surfacing on tabloids and papers. The two reportedly fell in love with the sets of the film Villu (2009). However, the two never accepted or denied their relationship whenever asked by the media.
As per Zoom TV report, Prabhudeva in 2010 admitted to being in love with Nayanthara and said that he would “love to marry her.” At this time he was already a married man and a father of two children. His statement reached his wife Ramlath aka Latha who dragged him to the court alleging that because of his affair with the actress, the filmmaker was not helping to run their family financially.
Latha also filed a second petition in Chennai court asking the justice to restrict Wanted filmmaker from marrying the actress. She even threatened to go on hunger strike if her plea go unheard. This led to many women organisations coming out on the roads, burning effigies of Nayanthara and saying that she had brought disrepute to the Tamil culture. Things got nastier by the day.
However, Prabdhudeva and Latha finally reached an agreement a few months later. The filmmaker entered into a divorce settlement with his wife of 15 years and agreed to give her three residential properties, two cars and 10 lakh in alimony. Following this, many expected that the filmmaker-choreographer would marry Nayanthara now that he is legally divorced. However, their relationship didn’t survive the test of time and they called it quits, within a year of living in together.
