South Indian superstar Dhanush, who is garnering appreciation for his role in Atrangi Re, sent a shock wave to the hearts of all his fans when he announced his separation from his wife Aishwarya Rajnikanth. The Maari actor and the daughter of star Rajnikanth revealed the news by sharing a joint statement on their social media handle. We all have to agree that, Dhanush and Aishwarya were one of the most adorable couples in the nation. From getting married at a young age to handling an alleged love affair, the couple stayed together at every up and down.

The love story of the couple started way back in the 2000s when Aishwarya went to see the movie of Dhanush titled Kadhal Konden in Albert theatre.

Aishwarya got so impressed with his performance that she sent him flowers. After receiving the flowers and the note, Dhanush called Aishwaryaa and thanked her for her appreciation.

Slowly and gradually, the couple started meeting more often and eventually fell in love. After knowing each other for six months, the couple decided to take the big step and asked their parents for marriage.

The couple tied the knot in 2004. Their relationship grew stronger with time and stood against all odds. The couple now has two sons Yatra and Linga.

In an interview, Aishwarya had talked about her relationship with Dhanush. “The best thing about our relationship is the fact that we give each other plenty of space. Neither of us believes in changing for the other person just because we want to be together.

During the filming of 3, a news report came out that claimed that Dhanush is having love affair with co-actress Shruti Hassan after getting carried away during a love scene but even at that time Aishwarya stood by him and always supported him publicly.
