Superstar Rajinikanth's younger daughter Soundarya has officially ended her marriage of seven years with entrepreneur R Ashwin after a Chennai family court passed an order for judicial separation on July 4. The separation was formalised by Maria Clatta, principal family court judge. The former couple had filed for divorce in December 2016 and were reportedly living separately for over an year now. As the two could not reconcile, the court ordered an official termination of their marital relation.
Soundarya confirmed the news on Twitter. She said, “News about my marriage is true. We have been separated for over a year & divorce talks are on. I request all to respect my family's privacy.” A media report said the proceedings went off smoothly as the divorce was filed as a mutual decision. Terms and conditions of the settlement, including custodial details of their two-year-old son Ved are, however, still unknown. Graphic designer, producer and director, Soundarya had married Ashwin in 2010. She is currently busy promoting her upcoming film 'Velai Illa Pattadhaari 2' that is slated to release on July 28.
