Devyani to Nayanthara, actresses who found love within the movie industry

Directors play a main role in presenting a film character as they design the value for a character in the film. Also, there are times when directors fell in love with actresses while working together. Having a partner, who understands your career is important, and what else is better than finding someone within the industry? From Devyani to Nayanthara, here are five Tamil actresses who found love within the movie industry.

Devyani - Rajakumaran

Devayani became friends with filmmaker Rajakumaran during the shoot of 'Suryavamsam'. He worked as an assistant director and the duo formed a great rapport on the sets. Later, when Rajakumaran became an independent filmmaker, he worked with the actress. Rajakumaran happened to see a ten-year-old picture of Devayani while working with the actress for 'Vinnukkum Mannukkum' and fell in love with her. Then he proposed to the actress and she said yes. As their parents didn’t stand in favour of their love, they eloped and got married in Thiruthani, Murugan Temple.
