The celebration, marked with intimate family photos, quickly took the internet by storm, with fans and celebrity friends praising the grand gesture.

The Rolls-Royce Black Badge Spectre: Luxury Redefined
The Rolls-Royce Black Badge Spectre, gifted by Vignesh, is a milestone in luxury electric vehicles in India. Known for its iconic Spirit of Ecstasy, the car’s Pantheon grille is finished in polished black, and its illuminated fascia features more than 5,000 fiber optic lights, creating a customized star effect inside the cabin. With 44,000 color options and extensive bespoke possibilities, owners can turn this luxury vehicle into a true personal statement. Performance-wise, its 102 kWh battery pack delivers 659 hp and 1,075 Nm of torque, accelerating from zero to 100 km/h in 4.1 seconds, and offering a range of over 500 kilometers on a single charge. This level of opulence and next-generation engineering sets it apart, making the Spectre the most powerful Rolls-Royce electric vehicle in the country.
A Tradition of Luxury and Meaningful Gifting:
This latest gift continues a tradition of extravagant and meaningful celebrations in the couple’s relationship. In 2023, Vignesh gifted Nayanthara a Mercedes Maybach valued at approximately ₹3 crore; the following year, a Mercedes-Benz Maybach GLS 600 worth ₹5 crore joined their collection. The Rolls-Royce Spectre, now the most luxurious car in their stable, marks not just Nayanthara’s birthday but the couple’s commitment to commemorating milestones with love and style. Close friends in the industry, including actor R Madhavan and several leading actors and directors, joined millions of fans in wishing the actress on her special day, highlighting her continued grace, humility, and influence across South Indian cinema.
