When Rajinikanth complimented Dhanush for being a good son-in-law and said, ‘He takes good care of his wife…’

Dhanush and Aishwaryaa, once considered a match made in heaven, stunned everyone when they announced their divorce after almost 20 years of marriage and two adorable kids. Social media was flooded when the duo shared the news of separation in 2022. However, in an earlier episode in 2018, Rajinikanth was seen praising Dhanush for being a good son-in-law.

It was at the launch of Kaala that Rajinikanth shared his deep love and admiration for Dhanush and called him a good father and husband. The Jailer actor said, “Dhanush is a great boy. He respects his parents and considers them as God. He takes care of his wife. He is a good father, a good son-in-law, a good husband, a good talent.”

The Kubera actor has always had a good relationship with his ex-wife’s family, including his former father-in-law Rajinikanth and sister-in-law Soundarya Rajinikanth. Even after the divorce, Dhanush still has pictures of Rajinikanth on his social media.

For the uninitiated, Dhanush married Rajinikanth’s eldest daughter Aishwaryaa on November 18, 2004. The ex-couple is blessed with two sons, Yatra and Linga. Dhanush and Aishwaryaa announced their separation after 18 years of marriage. They officially filed for divorce in April 2024. According to the letter shared by the couple, the decision to part ways was mutual.

Meanwhile, on the work front, Dhanush has just delivered a blockbuster with Raayan. The actor has two more exciting projects in the pipeline. The first one is Kubera, opposite Rashmika Mandanna and Nagarjuna.

The Sekhar Kammula directorial is reportedly set in Dharavi, Mumbai, with Dhanush reportedly playing a homeless man who becomes a big mafia boss. Moreover, the Maaran actor will be seen in the much-awaited biopic on veteran music composer Ilaiyaraaja by Arun Matheswaran.

On the other hand, Rajinikanth has two exciting projects, starting with Vettaiyan, directed by TJ Gnanavel. The upcoming film reportedly revolves around the story of a retired police officer who wants to unravel a serious mystery that enshrouds him. Vettaiyan is set to release in October this year.
