The news has shocked fans, especially since it comes just less than three months after Aishwaryaa had dedicated a post to Dhanush on Instagram. In October, Dhanush and Aishwayaa’s father Rajinikanth had come together to attend the prestigious National Awards ceremony in New Delhi. While Rajinikanth was honoured with the Dadasaheb Phalke Award, Dhanush had won the National Film Award in the Best Actor category for his performance in Asuran.
Dhanush got married to Aishwaryaa, superstar Rajinikanth's eldest daughter on 18 November 2004. They have two sons named Yatra and Linga, who were born in 2006 and 2010 respectively.
Dhanush worked in Aishwaryaa's directorial debut '3' and the song 'Kolaveri Di' from the film became an instant hit.
