On Jan 17, Tamil actor and singer Dhanush took to his social media to announce separation from his wife Aishwaryaa Rajnikanth. Ending 18 years of marriage, he wrote, “18 years of togetherness as friends, couple, as parents and well wishers to each other. The journey has been of growth, understanding, adjusting and adapting. Today we stand at a place where our paths separate..Aishwaryaa and I have decided to part ways as a couple and take time to understand us as individuals for the better. Please do respect our decision and give us the needed privacy to deal with this.”
However, turns out that this might be just a temporary separation and not a divorce. Dhanush’s father and filmmaker Kasthuri Raja denied that the duo would be taking a divorce. He called their separation a ‘family quarrel’. During an interview with a local newspaper, he said that they have separated because of disagreement that usually takes place between a married couple.
He added, “Dhanush and Aishwaryaa are not in Chennai at present. Both are in Hyderabad. I spoke to both of them over the phone and gave them some advice.”
Dhanush and Aishwarya got married on 18 November 2004. They have two sons named Yatra and Linga, who were born in 2006 and 2010 respectively. Aishwaryaa is the eldest daughter of superstar Rajnikanth.
