While Dhanush was establishing himself in the film industry, by his side was his wife Aishwarya. Both belong to well-known families of the South film industry. Dhanush is the son of the famous director and producer, Kasthuri Raja. And, Aishwarya is the daughter of megastar Rajinikanth. It was an arranged marriage set up for both of them and after dating for just six months, they tied the knot and it was all things magical! Did you know, when Dhanush was merely 16, he had decided that he will be married before turning 23? And the actor actually did just the same.
Dhanush and Aishwarya tied the knot in 2004 when Dhanush was 21. When Dhanush and Aishwarya decided to spend their lives together, there was a section of society who felt their pair was a mismatch because of their age gap. Aishwarya is two years older than Dhanush, but that has never come in between the two. Want to know how the two fell in love? Read on.
It all started with rumours. The two first met when Dhanush's film Kadhal Kondaen had released. The cinema owner introduced Aishwarya to Dhanush and she congratulated him on his performance. The very next day, the actor received a bouquet from Aishwarya with a congratulations note and Dhanush appreciated the sweet gesture but there was nothing more than that at that time between the two. Soon, media reports started making headlines that Dhanush and Aishwarya are seeing each other. At that time, Dhanush even went on record to refute the claims stating that she is just his sister's friend and nothing else. But, it was their families who thought that the two will make for good life partners.
And soon, the families arranged a meeting, and as they say, the rest is history. The actor fell in love with Aishwarya's humble nature and maturity. Soon, the two realised that they are a good match and decided to get married.
Once, in an interview with JFW, Aishwarya shared the best thing about their relationship and said, "The best thing about our relationship is the fact that we give each other plenty of space. Neither of us believes in changing for the other person just because we want to be together. When you are in your mid-20ss your mind is set in terms of what you believe in and it is very hard to change yourself."
