Hi all! Great discussion on Nandhini.I just read all the mails. What I feel is,when Veerapandiyan escaped from Porkallam and met Nandhini he would have mistaken Nandhini for Mandhahini. So he may have said something to Nandhini as if he said it to Mandhahini.This may be the reason for Veerapandian claiming nandhini as his Pattamahishi.Nandhini would have worked out the truth from what he said. I agree with all the views.I beleive that she is the daughter of Veerapandiyan.
