38 years old Dhanush is one of the most promising actors of Tamil cinema. He had gotten married to Superstar Rajinikanth’s daughter Aishwaryaa 18 years ago in a traditional South Indian ceremony on 18 November 2004, and are proud parents to two sons - Yatra and Linga. 40-year-old Aishwaryaa is the elder daughter of Rajinikanth and she is a director and singer. In a shocking state of affairs, Dhanush and Aishwaryaa announced separation after 18 years of togetherness. Both Dhanush and Aishwaryaa took to social media and shared a long note announcing their decision to their fans.  

The note said, “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... Dhanush 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 it.” 

Their fans were completely taken aback (shocked) by their decision. 

Here were the various comments, "God. It’s heartbreaking," wrote one. "This is way too shocking. But all the best to you guys," wrote another. "I can't believe it's heartbreaking," another fan wrote. Generally, when famous couples are going to divorce there are many rumours in the media. However, there were no rumours about Dhanush & Aishwarya. There were no rumours about affairs or anything. Plus recently a video of Dhanush singing a romantic song for his wife went viral on social media. This is why when they announced they divorce people were very shocked. 

Ten years back, divorce was a big thing in India but not anymore. Divorce has become common news when Bollywood celebs like Hrithik Roshan, Arbaaz Khan, Farhan Akhtar, and Arjun Rampal divorced their wives back to back. Even south India superstars Samantha and Chay Akkineni shocked the world with their divorce.
