The couple, who had tied the knot in 2004 and have two children, posted statements on their respective social media handles, announcing the split. Taking to her social media, she had written, “Eighteen years of togetherness as friends, couple, as parents and well-wishers to each other. The journey has been of growth, understanding, adjusting, and adapting. Today we stand at a place where our paths separate. Dhanush and I have decided to part ways as a couple and take time to understand us as individuals for the better. Please do Respect our decision and give us the needed privacy to deal with this.” 

Aishwaryaa is known for directing films like the Tamil romantic thriller "3" and black comedy "Vai Raja Vai". We are praying for her speedy recovery.
