Dhanush, the acclaimed Indian actor, continues to capture attention not only for his impressive filmography but also for his personal life. Known for his previous marriage to Aishwarya Rajinikanth, the daughter of superstar Rajinikanth, Dhanush announced their separation in 2022 after 18 years together, which came as a surprise to fans and the film industry alike.
In January 2024, the Chennai Family Welfare Court officially finalized their divorce, marking the end of their longtime partnership. Following the split, both Dhanush and Aishwarya have maintained a close relationship that supports their two sons, Yatra and Linga. The two reside near each other in Chennai’s Poes Garden, regularly sharing family moments on social media, emphasizing their commitment to co-parenting.
Recently, Dhanush has reportedly entered into a new romantic relationship with actress Mrunal Thakur, who is nine years his junior. Rumors about this budding relationship sparked in August 2025 when the two were seen together at the premiere of Mrunal’s film, “Son Of Sardaar 2.” Their connection appeared to deepen with Mrunal’s attendance at the wrap party for Dhanush’s film “Tere Ishq Mein,” leading fans and observers to speculate about their relationship status.
Sources indicate that the two share compatible values, choices, and thoughts, and friends of the couple seem supportive of this new phase in Dhanush’s life. However, in a recent interview, Mrunal downplayed the dating rumors, referring to Dhanush as “just a good friend,” leaving room for interpretation about their relationship.
As Dhanush embarks on this new chapter, fans are hopeful about his happiness and continued success both on and off the screen.
