Dhanush and Aishwarya formally break ties
Bringing an end to their nearly two-decade-long marriage
After 20 years of marriage and two years of separation window, the Chennai Family Welfare Court dissolved Dhanush and Aishwarya’s union, ending one of Tamil cinema’s most high-profile relationships.
Married on November 18, 2004, the couple, parents to sons Yatra and Linga, cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for their split. Despite efforts by family and friends to reconcile the pair, both remained firm in their decision to part ways. In 2022, they officially announced their separation after living apart for some time.
The divorce case, heard by Chief Judge Subhadevi, saw delays with both parties being absent for earlier hearings. However, on November 21, Dhanush and Aishwarya appeared in court, confirming their decision and signing the necessary documents. Judge Subhadevi delivered the final verdict on November 27, formally concluding their two-decade-long marriage.
