Just days after actor Dhanush and wife Aishwaryaa announced their separation after 18 years of marriage, his father Kasthuri Raja has denied that the two are headed for a divorce. Aishwaryaa, who is the elder daughter of superstar Rajinikanth, has two sons with Dhanush, 15-year-old Yatra and 11-year-old Linga.
Speaking to a local newspaper, Kasthuri said that a disagreement has taken place between Dhanush and Aishwaryaa and that they are not divorced. He said, “Dhanush and Aishwaryaa are not divorced. It’s just a fight between them due to differences of opinion. So it was a routine family fight. Presently both are out of town and staying in Hyderabad. I talked to them via phone and advised them too.”
The pair had shared a joint statement on their respective social media accounts, on January 17. Dhanush wrote, “Eighteen years of togetherness as friends, couple, as parents and well-wishers to each other. The journey has been of growth, understanding, adjusting, and adapting. Today we stand at a place where our paths separate. Aishwaryaa and I have decided to part ways as a couple and take time to understand us as individuals for the better. Please do respect our decision and give us the needed privacy to deal with this. Om Namashivaaya! Spread love, D.”
