Actor Nayanthara, Husband Did Not Break Surrogacy Law, Says Tamil Nadu

Nayanthara and Vignesh got married this June after dating for around five years.

Nayanthara and her director husband Vignesh Shivan did not violate any surrogacy rules, the Tamil Nadu health department said in its report today. The couple recently announced that they became parents to twin boys.

In its report, the Tamil Nadu government said that the surrogate mother was of eligible age. It added that the woman already has a child.

Surrogacy laws were amended in January to ensure it is not commercially exploited. There was a controversy in June this year about a minor being forced to donate oocytes, after which the state government brought in more stringent guidelines.

There was wide-ranging speculation that Nayanthara and her husband may have conceived the babies before the law was amended.
