Actor Dhanush and Aishwarya Rajinikanth’s separation has been an open secret for some time. In 2022, the star couple made their split official by announcing it on social media. Despite numerous attempts by family and friends to bring them back together, both remained steadfast in their decision to part ways.

Dhanush and Aishwarya made their first appearance together today at the Chennai Family Court following their divorce announcement. Both confirmed their decision to proceed with a mutual divorce and signed the required documents. The court has deferred the final verdict to November 27, 2024.

For those unaware, Dhanush and Aishwarya’s love story began in 2004 when they tied the knot on November 18 in a grand ceremony in Chennai, with the blessings of both their iconic families. Their union, blessed with two sons, quickly became one of the most talked-about celebrity marriages in the South film industry.

However, after 18 years of marital life, differences began to emerge, leading to their eventual separation. After much contemplation and with mutual consent, they are now on the verge of officially ending their marriage.
