Nayanthara and Vignesh Shivan did not break surrogacy laws, says Tamil Nadu govt; report blames hospital for confusion

Hindustan Times  

An investigation set up by the Tamil Nadu government has said that Nayanthara and Vignesh Shivan have not broken any laws governing surrogacy in India. The actor-director couple became parents to twin boys--Uyir and Ulagham--via surrogacy earlier this month, following which many raised doubts about the legality of it all, since commercial surrogacy was banned in India in January. The Tamil Nadu government had formed a three-member panel appointed by the Health and Family Welfare Department to investigate if there were any irregularities in the surrogacy process of Nayanthara and Vignesh Shivan. Nayanthara, a popular name in the Tamil and Telugu film industries, will make her Bollywood debut opposite Shah Rukh in Atlee’s Jawan next year.
