In a recent interview, Aishwarya opened up about Anirudh Ravichander and gave credit to ex-husband Dhanush for his music career, thus speaking for the very first time about the latter since they announced their divorce. 

She said, “ am happy that he has become one of the most sought-after music directors. However, his entry into the film industry has no connection with me. He is my cousin but his musical talents were recognised by Dhanush. He encouraged him to compose the songs of 3. His entry into the cinema industry was fully because of Dhanush.”

Aishwarya added, “Anirudh’s parents originally wanted him to move to Singapore and pursue higher studies. Dhanush convinced Anirudh’s parents to let him explore his musical talents. From buying him a keyboard to pushing for him to compose the songs of 3, the credit goes to Dhanush. Anirudh’s entry into the industry is because of Dhanush. But today, where he has reached is because of his hard work. And I am happy for him.”
