According to the reports, Dhanush and Aishwarya Rajinikanth delayed the divorce procedure earlier, as both their families were strongly against their decision. Earlier, it was reported that the filmmaker’s father, superstar Rajinikanth, and Dhanush's father, director Kasthuri Raja, were advising the duo to reconsider their decision. Even though they tried to work on their marriage for the sake of their sons, things didn’t work out and they decided to separate ways.

Dhanush and Aishwarya Rajinikanth, who tied the knot in 2004 after a brief period of courtship, decided to part ways after 18 years of marriage. For the uninitiated, the Captain Miller actor and Lal Salaam director were just 21 and 23 at the time of their marriage. If the reports are to be believed, the couple drifted apart gradually and were facing serious compatibility issues. However, the National award-winning actor and filmmaker remain on cordial terms and are planning to continue co-parenting their sons, Yatra and Linga.
