In an interaction with YouTuber Gopinath Chandran, Vignesh addressed claims that Nayanthara might be overshadowing him in his career. Dismissing the idea, he said such things have no place in a relationship. "There is nothing of that sort. When we think like that, we can't move forward in life. In relationships like father-son, brothers, and husband and wife, there is no concept of ‘overshadowing’,” he explained.
