If you haven’t noticed, then there are a lot of South superstars making the headlines lately. Why? Well, because a lot of projects recently have been a combination of the South Indian film industry and Bollywood. One of the projects was Atrangi Re that starred Dhanush, Sara Ali Khan, and Akshay Kumar as leads. In fact, the South superstar Dhanush has been making headlines ever since the movie came out. And now once again he has made headlines. But this time it is not for a project, but rather for his personal life.

On Monday, Dhanush and Aishwaryaa Rajinikanth, who tied the knot in 2004, took to their social media accounts to announce their divorce after being married for 18 years. The couple is parents to two sons – Yatra and Linga.

That's unexpected and shocking! The reasons behind the break-up are none of our business. Media and fans should give them the space they need. We just wish #Dhanush and @ash_r_dhanush sis all the best for the future!

After Naga Chaitanya’s divorce from Samantha Ruth Prabhu, this is the second divorce that has left the fans of south Indian films in shock and heartbroken. But I guess it is better to part ways than to stay in a marriage where both are not giving their 100%.
