At that time, Prabhu Deva's first wife Ramlatha had harshly criticized Nayanthara in an interview. She had said that Nayanthara was the reason for the ruin of her married life. She also said, "Prabhu deva is an honest, kind husband, he took care of us with great love and care. He recently bought a house for us. But now everything has changed. His current behavior has come as a great shock to me and Deva's family. Family does not allow an already married man to marry another woman," Ramlatha said.

Ramlatha and prabhu deva got divorced in July 2010. However since Nayanthara and prabhu deva had many obstacles in their marriage, the two separated. Many women's organizations turned against Nayanthara. Ramlath threatened to go on a hunger strike if prabhu deva married Nayanthara. In 2012, Nayanthara officially announced that her relationship with prabhu deva was over. In 2020, prabhu deva married Himani, a physiotherapist from Mumbai. He was 47 years old at the time. The couple had a baby girl in 2023.
