Nayanthara and Vignesh Shivan

Popular Indian actress Nayanthara and her husband Vignesh Shivan have been given a clean chit in the surrogacy controversy.

The couple welcomed twins via surrogacy earlier in October, which raised questions as commercial surrogacy is not allowed in India. Days after the couple made the announcement about their twins on social media, the state health department of the Tamil Nadu government, ordered an inquiry into the matter.

Now, as the government has given a clean chit to the couple stating that the two did not violate any laws, Vignesh took to Instagram to share a series of cryptic posts on ‘spreading hate and negativity and the importance of ‘peace of mind’.
