I feel like it is pretty common in India for people to not take divorces seriously. I think that the moment a couple says that they want to split, everyone in the family rushes to invalidate their choices and forces them to stay together. Especially, the older members of the family. They believe it is their right to dictate how adults should handle their relationship. A similar situation has arisen between actor Dhanush and his wife Aishwaryaa Rajinikanth as Dhanush’s father, Kasthuri Raja has denied their divorce announcement by saying that they are simply going through a ‘family quarrel.’ Which has left me confused as there were official announcements saying otherwise.
Dhanush and Aishwaryaa Rajinikanth have been in the news lately as they recently took to their social media and uploaded statements saying that they will be getting divorced after 18 years of marriage and have asked their fans to give them their privacy. However, Dhanush’s father, Kasthuri Raja has denied that they will be getting divorced and has said that this is simply a ‘family quarrel.’

The couple announced their divorce decision by posting individual and identical statements without any explanation. However, there have been speculations that Dhanush and Aishwaryaa decided to split due to their work. While Dhanush has been taking up a lot of projects as an actor, Aishwaryaa has been leaning more towards the path of spirituality. Dhanush is allegedly a workaholic who is out most of the time and the couple hasn’t had quality time together. Aishwaryaa too is really into yoga, exercise and priorities spirituality and might not see marriage as a priority anymore, according to reports.
Kasthuri Raja said that a disagreement has taken place between Dhanush and Aishwaryaa. “Dhanush and Aishwarya are not divorced. It’s just a fight between them due to differences of opinion. So it was a routine family fight. Presently both are out of town and staying in Hyderabad. I talked to them via phone and advised them too,” he said, according to sources.
Considering that both have already put out statements making their decision official, I am not really sure what Kasthuri Raja is implying here. However, I do feel like this is between 2 adults and if they have made a decision, he shouldn’t have publically dismissed their choice like this. While advising and wanting the best for your children is understandable, it isn’t fair to not take their feeling and opinions into consideration.
