When Nayanthara apologised to Dhanush live on stage, watch

Amid the entertainment industry drama revolving between Nayanthara and Dhanush, an old video featuring the ‘Jawan’ actress apologising to the latter has gone viral on social media. Furthermore, it has also started a war of words between the fandom of the two fandoms.

The incident happened during the 2016 Filmfare Awards South when Nayanthara won the Best Actress award for ‘Naanum Rowdy Dhaan’.

In her acceptance speech, the 40-year-old actress stated, “Thank you Dhanush for initiating NRD. And I have to say sorry also. Dhanush absolutely hated my performance in Naanum Rowdy Dhaan. Sorry for disappointing you with my performance. I'll probably make it better next time.”

Dhanush, present in the audience, could be seen smiling along and seemingly approving her remarks in a light-hearted manner. However, netizens watching the video were quick to realize that the comments were rather sarcastic in nature.

Coincidentally, Dhanush was reportedly upset with Nayanthara on the sets of ‘Naanum Rowdy Dhaan’, where he was the producer and the latter played the role of Kadhambari. The reason was the actress’ relationship with director Vignesh Shivan, which began during filming and continued on the film’s sets.

The issue probably caused differences between the two hence Nayanthara’s sarcastic remarks. Furthermore, the open letter from the actress also accused Dhanush of having a large ego. All of which stands as proof for netizen’s assumption, as seen in the comments section of an X (formerly Twitter) post featuring the clip.
