Nayanthara and Vignesh Shivan surprised fans by announcing that they’ve welcomed twin boys. The couple, who tied the knot in June this year, shared the news about their children’s arrival on Sunday. The news sparked rumours of the couple opting for surrogacy. However, Nayanthara and Vignesh are yet to address these claims. While fans wait for more details from the couple, Tamil Nadu Health Minister Ma Subramanian said the state government will be looking into it.
Speaking about the couple’s recently announced news, Subramanian said at a press conference on Monday that the state government will conduct an inquiry. “The surrogacy itself is subjected to a lot of debates. But, the law allows individuals to involve in surrogacy if they are above 21 years and below 36 years of age, with the approval of the family,” said the minister, as quoted by The Indian Express.

For the unversed, commercial surrogacy is banned in India. However, the criterion for surrogacy in India is that the surrogate should be married at least once and should have their own child. Earlier this year, a regulation bill was made effective that mentioned only altruistic surrogacy will be allowed wherein, apart from the medical expenses and the insurance cover of the surrogate, the parents will not bear any other expenses.
