The celebrity couple Nayanthara and Vignesh Shivan who tied the knot four months ago, recently announced that they became parents to twins via surrogacy. While there was no official confirmation from the celebrity couple, reports claimed that the babies were born via surrogacy. Several questions were raised as to whether the surrogacy laws applicable in the country were followed by Nayanthara and Vignesh.
Now, the couple has submitted an affidavit to the Tamil Nadu health department in which it has been revealed that the surrogate through which the twins were born is a relative of the GodFather actress, which is in accordance with the law.
The surrogate is based out of Dubai and handles the business of the actress. Also the report states that Nayanthara and Vignesh registered their marriage six years ago.
Commercial surrogacy is banned in India and only altruistic surrogacy would be allowed wherein except for the medical expenses and the insurance cover of the surrogate, no other charges or expenses would be covered by the couple who engages the surrogate.
On the work front, Nayanthara will be making her Hindi film debut opposite Shah Rukh Khan in Atlee’s Jawan, which will release next year in June.
