Nayanthara, Vignesh Shivan seek blessings at Tirumala Venkateswara temple
Tirupati, April 9
Actress Nayanthara, along with her husband and filmmaker Vignesh Shivan, visited the Tirumala Venkateswara Temple in Tirupati district on Thursday, offering prayers to Lord Venkateswara.
The celebrity couple also interacted and posed for photographs with fans who had gathered to catch a glimpse of the stars.
For the temple visit, Nayanthara chose a white churidar kurta suit paired with a dark green dupatta. Her hair was tied in a neat bun, complemented with a simple bindi and silver oxidised jhumki earrings. Vignesh Shivan complemented her look in a bright orange kurta set.
The Tirumala Venkateswara Temple, situated atop the seventh peak of the Seshachalam Hills, is among India's most revered Hindu shrines. Dedicated to Lord Venkateswara, also known as Balaji, the centuries-old temple draws millions of devotees from across the country and abroad every year. Recent weeks have also seen several celebrity visits to the shrine.
On the professional front, Nayanthara has recently joined the cast of an upcoming Bollywood action film starring Salman Khan, directed by Vamshi Paidipally and produced by Dil Raju.
This marks the actress's second Bollywood project following her debut in the Shah Rukh Khan starrer Jawan (2023).
Sri Venkateswara Creations officially announced her involvement in the project on their X handle on Tuesday, stating, "The Queen Arrives. The epitome of versatility and excellence NAYANTHARA joins Salman Khan-Vamshi Paidipally Film. It's an honour to have you on board for something truly special that's underway."
The film is expected to go on floors next month, though further details remain under wraps.

Good to see celebrities visiting Tirupati like common devotees. It keeps them grounded. But honestly, the media coverage for every star visit is a bit much. Let people pray in peace.
Excited for her new film with Salman Bhai! Jawan was a blockbuster, and she was fantastic. Taking blessings from Lord Balaji is the perfect start. Hope the film does well.
The temple architecture looks stunning from the pictures I've seen. It's wonderful how such historic places are part of daily life and major life events in India.
Vignesh Shivan's bright orange kurta is quite a bold choice! 😄 More power to him. It's nice they took time to interact with fans. Wishing the couple the best.
Tirumala is always special. Whether you're a celebrity or a regular person, the divine feeling is the same. Hope their prayers are answered.
