He further added, "This is a wedding. Did you think getting married in Tirupati would be so easy? There's always a challenge for us that keeps testing us. We'll handle it."

Vignesh also spoke about being subjected to scrutiny from the public via memes when Nayanthara and his relationship became public. He spoke on the matter, saying, "The first famous meme that came out was, 'No one can stop it if the beauty chose the beast.' I was compared to a dog. They said Nagoor Biryani was being offered to a dog. The meme had both our pictures on it."
