| Controversies |
• Her kissing pictures with her first boyfriend Simbu went viral on the internet which impacted her professional and social image.
• In 2011, she was in a relationship with a married man Prabhu Deva and his Ex-Wife Ramlath accused her for stealing her husband.
• In 2015, she ran into controversy for her viral clip from the film Naanum Rowdy Dhaan after which a political party protested against her
• After Nayanthara and Vignesh Shivan announced that they have become parents to twin boys on 9 October 2022, some reports claimed that they concealed that the babies were conceived through surrogacy, and it was also doubted whether the couple followed the procedures stipulated by the Indian surrogacy laws. During a press conference, Tamil Nadu Health Minister Ma Subramanian said that an inquiry will be conducted for the same. He said, "The surrogacy itself is subjected to a lot of debates. But, the law allows individuals to involve in surrogacy if they are above 21 years and below 36 years of age, with the approval of the family."
• The founder of Hindu IT Cell Ramesh N. Solanki filed an FIR against Nayanthara and the makers of the film 'Annapoorani' on 6 January 2024. The complaint highlighted specific scenes and claims in the film related to Lord Ram and Hinduism as offensive and causing hurt to religious sentiments.
• In November 2024, Actor and Producer Dhanush entered into a feud with Nayanthara after she posted on Instagram claiming that he had sent her a legal notice demanding Rs. 10 crore. The notice was in response to her alleged use of a three-second behind-the-scenes video of her from the 2015 film Naanum Rowdy Dhaan, which Dhanush produced, without prior permission in a documentary based on her life as an actress. Nayanthara also stated that she had sent a formal letter in 2022 requesting permission to use the video clip, but Dhanush failed to respond to that letter.
