Although the stories suggesting a reconciliation between Tamil superstar Dhanush and his wife Aishwarya, are far from the truth, it is true that the couple is trying its utmost to patch up their differences for two reasons.

“Rajinikanth and their sons,” informs a source very close to the family.

“Dhanush’s father-in-law Rajinikanth cannot bear to see his daughter’s marriage broken. His other daughter Soundarya has divorced and remarried. Rajinikanth was shattered when Soundarya ended her first marriage. He cannot bear Aishwarya going through the same. Since Rajini Sir is not keeping good health and also since Dhanush and Aishwarya’s differences do not seem irreconcilable, the couple is making an effort to stay together for his sake and for the sake of their two sons Yatra and Linga who are keen to see their parents together,” the source informs.

At the moment the relationship status for Aishwarya and Dhanush would read as “uncertain”. However neither needs to terminate the marriage as they are not in a relationship outside their marriage.

Even if the reconciliation eventually transpires it won’t be mended beyond the practical imperatives of the situation.
