Dhanush and Aishwarya Rajinikanth are granted a divorce by the city's family court.

 Actor Dhanush and filmmaker Aishwarya Rajinikanth were officially granted a divorce by the Chennai Family Welfare Court on Wednesday. The incapacity of both partners to continue living together is the background against which the development occurs. At the hearing on November 21, Dhanush and Aishwarya stated that they wanted to separate, therefore the final ruling was postponed until November 27 (today).

In 2004, Aishwarya and Dhanush were married in a lavish ceremony in Chennai. In 2022, they released a joint statement announcing their separation."Eighteen years of togetherness as friends, a couple, parents, and well-wishers to each other," the statement said. It has been a path of development, comprehension, adjustment, and adaptation. We are at a point in time where our paths diverge. I've made the decision to break up with Aishwaryaa/Dhanush and take some time to better understand each other as individuals. Please accept our choice and provide us the privacy we need to handle this (sic).
