On
December
17
(Monday)
Dhanush
announced
separation
from
his
wife,
filmmaker
Aishwaryaa
Rajinikanth
after
18
years
of
marriage.
The
duo
took
to
their
respective
social
media
handles
to
announce
their
split.
Well,
their
divorce
came
as
a
shocker
to
many,
especially
to
their
fans
who
were
idolizing
them
as
the
power
couple
of
Kollywood.
On
the
other
hand,
many
also
expressed
their
support
to
the
couple
stressing
that
it
is
completely
their
personal
choice
and
one
should
nothing
but
respect
it.
Well,
celebrities
from
the
Kollywood-Tollywood
industry
have
also
been
sharing
their
take
on
Dhanush-Aishwaryaa's
divorce,
and
the
latest
to
join
the
bandwagon
is
none
other
than
Thalapathy
Vijay's
father
and
renowned
filmmaker
SA
Chandrasekar.
Apparently,
in
a
five-minute-long
video
released
on
Facebook,
the
senior
director
said
that
it
was
heartbreaking
to
hear
such
news.
In
the
video
captioned
'a
fan's
voice',
Chandrasekar
revealed
that
he
had
released
the
video
after
much
thought,
Notably,
he
also
mentioned
a
husband
and
wife
who
separated
for
seven
years
and
got
back
together
only
to
get
remarried.
Though
he
didn't
reveal
the
names
of
the
couple,
it
surely
left
many
curious.
Further,
he
quoted
a
few
lines
from
one
of
the
poems
of
acclaimed
poet
Kannadasan,
which
simply
means
that
life
without
problems
is
meaningless.
He
later
concluded
by
saying
that
he
didn't
mean
to
advise
anyone
with
the
video
and
termed
his
opinion
as
'voice
of
the
fans'
On
a
related
note,
in
his
divorce
statement,
Dhanush
had
penned
that
he
and
Aishwaryaa
decided
to
part
ways
as
a
couple
to
take
time
to
understand
each
other
as
individuals.
His
statement
read,
"18
years
of
togetherness
as
friends,
couple,
as
parents
and
well-wishers
to
each
other.
The
journey
has
been
of
growth,
understanding,
adjusting,
and
adapting.
Today
we
stand
at
a
place
where
our
paths
separate.
Aishwaryaa
and
I
have
decided
to
part
ways
as
a
couple
and
take
time
to
understand
us
as
individuals
for
the
better.
Please
do
Respect
our
decision
and
give
us
the
need
for
privacy
to
deal
with
this.
Om
Namashivaaya!
Spread
love,
D."
