While announcing their separation in January 17, 2022, Dhanush posted on social media that they have decided to part ways as a couple and take time to understand themselves as individuals for the better.
"18 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," he wrote, requesting everyone to respect their decision and privacy.
