Venkatesh Prabhu, better known as Dhanush, is one of the leading names of the Tamil film industry. With 44 films, 13 SIIMA Awards, 9 Vijay Awards, 7 Filmfare Awards and many more in his name, Dhanush is known for his prominent works as an actor, producer, director, lyricist and playback singer. Dhanush was married to superstar, Rajinikanth’s daughter, Aishwaryaa, and we had often seen adorable glimpses of this ex-couple through their respective social media handles.
Born to famous Tamil director, Kasturi Raja, Dhanush was never keen to become an actor. It was his brother, Selvarajan, who had coaxed him into acting. Not just South, Dhanush had left a lasting impression on the audiences across the nation with his effortless performances as a crazy lover in Raanjhanaa and an aspiring actor in Shamitabh. We have often seen the playful side of this versatile actor. However, we stumbled upon a viral video of Dhanush, singing a song of his ex-father-in-law, Rajinikanth and making his ex-wife, Aishwaryaa blush.

In the video, Dhanush was seen singing the track, ‘Ilamai Thirumbudhe’ from his ex-father-in-law, Rajinikanth’s blockbuster film, Petta. While singing the song and flaunting his dance moves, Dhanush walked and pointed towards his ex-wife, Aishwaryaa, who couldn’t stop herself from blushing. Dhanush continued singing while hugging Aishwaryaa, making it a sight to behold for all his and Rajinikanth’s fans.
Dhanush's real-life love story with his ex-wife, Aishwaryaa R Dhanush is not less than a typical Indian romantic film. Along with an envious career, the South Indian film industry had given him the most beautiful and understanding life partner as well that one could ever hope for. But just like every celebrity love story, this too had started with rumours. There were reports that Rajinikanth's daughter, Aishwaryaa, was a good friend of Dhanush's sister. The media had speculated that something was going between Dhanush and Aishwaryaa. Though Dhanush had gone on record to say that there was nothing between them, neither media nor his fans were ready to accept that.
As we all know, Kasthuri Raja's and Rajinikanth's families are amongst one of the most influential families in South India. When the speculations of the affair between their children were spreading like wildfire in the media, the families had thought that this match is a good one. Hence, the families had decided to arrange their wedding. A meeting was arranged for Dhanush and Aishwaryaa so that the two could talk about a possible future together. After that meeting, they both had realised that they are perfect for each other.
