Chennai, Nov 19 (NationPress) Director Vignesh Shivan has expressed his heartfelt sentiments through a wonderful birthday message for his wife, actress Nayanthara, where he declared his love for her in a way that resonates deeply: "truly, madly, deeply."

In a poignant post on his Instagram, the director shared a touching birthday greeting to Nayanthara, stating, "Yennam Pol Vazhkai. Happy birthday my uyir @nayanthara. Nee pirandha dhinam…Varam. Love you truly, madly, deeply my azhagi love you. From your Uyir, Ulag, big uyir, all your beloved people. With a heart overflowing with gratitude and a life filled with love, I thank the universe and God Almighty for consistently providing us with moments enriched with abundant love, unyielding positivity, and genuine goodwill."

Just a week prior, both Vignesh Shivan and Nayanthara visited the renowned Kukke Subrahmanya Swamy temple in Karnataka to offer their prayers.

This temple is notable as it was also visited by acclaimed Telugu filmmaker Sampath Nandi earlier this year to celebrate his birthday.

The director's temple visit coincided with the anticipation surrounding the release of his much-awaited film, 'Love Insurance Kompany' (LIK), featuring actors Pradeep Ranganathan and Krithi Shetty in lead roles.

Interestingly, Vignesh Shivan had to delay the film's premiere from October 17 to December 18 to prevent a scheduling conflict with Pradeep Ranganathan's film 'Dude'.

Due to multiple postponements, the director has faced significant pressure. In fact, he recently shared an emotional note commemorating the tenth anniversary of his successful film 'Naanum Rowdy Dhaan' on October 17.

In his Instagram post, he reflected, "Ten years of NaanumRowdyDhaan today… October 21st, 2015. A life filled with miracles began on this lovely day. Time has played its tune beautifully..."

However, he indicated that he had envisioned this milestone differently, hoping that 'Love Insurance Kompany' would have captured the audience's hearts and that their joy would have made the day even more remarkable for him.

He expressed, "Deep down, I saved my happiness for that moment. Yet, life, in its serene wisdom, imparted a more beautiful lesson today."

Despite the absence of the anticipated "big moment," he found himself genuinely smiling — peacefully. He noted that perhaps this Diwali was meant to remind him that happiness does not always come with accolades, grand successes, or strict timelines.

"We pursue milestones believing they will bring us joy, but happiness isn't a hard destination! It can be a gentle reprieve from the chaos that surrounds you, a feeling of tranquility, a sense of fulfillment… A warm hug from your loving wife, that kiss reaffirming a deep love spanning over a decade! The innocent laughter of your children looking into your eyes, unaware of the hidden struggles! The unconditional love from family and friends, sharing sweet words meant to uplift you. All of these are as valuable as the major victories we often reserve our happiness for. I've learned — you don’t need to 'win' to feel joyful."

"Simply being surrounded by the small, delightful blessings in your life is more than sufficient. Sometimes dreams take unexpected paths — yet God, in His quiet wisdom, always finds a way and the right timing to bring a smile to your face. Anticipate it with a happy heart and positive energy. A heart that remains grateful, even when things don’t go as planned, is a heart filled with love and acceptance," he concluded.

"Nenacchadhu nadandhaalum, nadakkalanaalum! Nalladheyyyy nadakkummm nu nambuvom (Whether what you believe happens, or does not happen, let us trust that only good things will materialize.) Believe that… Life is beautiful! God is great!"
