Hyderabad:In a significant development, actor Dhanush and Aishwarya Rajinikanth have been granted a divorce by the Chennai Family Welfare Court, marking the end of their 18-year-long marriage. The court's decision follows both parties expressing their inability to continue living together. While their marriage has ended, Dhanush and Aishwarya will continue to co-parent their two sons, Yatra and Lingaa.
The couple had announced their separation on social media back in 2022 and later filed for divorce. On November 21 of this year, the couple appeared before the family court in Chennai, where they formally communicated their decision to part ways. The court adjourned the hearing to November 27, and the final divorce verdict was delivered shortly thereafter.
Dhanush and Aishwarya, both prominent figures in the South Indian film industry, tied the knot in 2004 in a widely celebrated wedding in Chennai. Throughout their marriage, they maintained a positive public image and were seen as one of the industry's most beloved couples. However, in a joint statement released by them after the court's verdict, they expressed mutual respect for each other's journey and outlined their decision to part ways.
