Dhanush and Aishwaryaa Rajinikanth were one of the most-loved couples of the South Indian film industry. They parted ways after 18 years of marriage. The news of their separation broke many hearts and some even asked the couple to get back together. While the duo have mentioned that they are going their separate ways, Dhanush's father, popular filmmaker Kasthuri Raja has called it a 'family quarrel and not divorce'.
Speaking to Dailythandhi newspaper, Kasthuri Raja said that his son Dhanush and Aishwaryaa's split has taken place only because of disagreement. He called it a family quarrel that usually takes place between a married couple and not a divorce.
He further added, "Dhanush and Aishwaryaa are not in Chennai at present. Both are in Hyderabad. I spoke to both of them over the phone and gave them some advice."
