I think it’s safe to say that director Ram Gopal Varma has gained even more popularity for his tweets and controversial take on current affairs rather than his films. While the news of actor Dhanush and his wife Aishwaryaa Rajinikanth’s separation post 18 years of marriage came as a shocker for the country, Ram Gopal Varma’s two bits on celebrity divorce is even more surprising. Taking a dig at the recent celebrity couple separations and the institution of ‘marriage,’ the director took to his Twitter handle and wrote, “Nothing murders love faster than marriage ..The secret of happiness is to keep loving as long as it remains and then move on instead of getting into the jail called marriage. Marriage is the most evil custom thrust upon society by our nasty ancestors in promulgating a continuous cycle of unhappiness and sadness.”

He further added, “Star divorces are good trend setters to warn young people about the dangers of marriages. Love in a marriage lasts for lesser days than the days they celebrate it, which is 3 to 5 days.”

Sharing his take on marriage being an ‘evil custom’ as he called star divorces ‘good trendsetters’ he wrote, “Only divorces should be celebrated with sangeet because of getting liberated and marriages should happen quietly in process of testing each other’s danger qualities.” And we’re not sure, how to even react to this.

Responding to his bizarre statements, netizens jumped to share their views as well, and mentioned, “What do you want to convey to the society” and, “When ppl become too brainy/logical, they will think, living on the Earth is also useless!” While this definitely is not the first-ever time that Ram Gopal Varma openly penned his thoughts on celeb separation. He earlier reacted to the separation news of actors Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Naga Chaitanya, and tweeted, “MARRIAGES are made in HELL and DIVORCES are made in HEAVEN.” Moreover, he added, “DIVORCE should be more celebrated than MARRIAGE because in marriage, you don’t know what you are getting into, whereas in divorce you are getting out of what you have gotten into.”
Most marriages don’t last more than even the no. of days they celebrate the event ,and so real Sangeeth should happen at a DIVORCE event where all divorced men and women can sing and dance

Meanwhile, Dhanush and Aishwaryaa issued an identical statement on social media, confirming that they are separating post 18 years of marriage. They chose to remain tight-lipped about the reason behind it and requested their fans to understand.
