Dhanush- Aishwarya wedding that publicly ended Rajini- Jayalalithaa war

 Dhanush – Aishwarya Rajinikanth wedding was dramatic as the divorce tweet that came yesterday night. It was the wedding that signaled to the Superstar fans and AMMA followers that the hatchet has been buried. The climax to a political war that had Jayalalithaa humbled at the polls saw AMMA elevated to the eldest person of the family and gave the thaali to Dhanush to tie the three knots. 

Ego bruised Rajinikanth could not forget the moment when cops at the road leading to his house told that he could sit in the car and wait in the footpath till Amma passes by or walk down to his house. When AMMA security informs that she is leaving office for home, all traffic is frozen. Only after her car goes inside the Veda Nilayam does the freeze order is lifted. Rajini walked to his house. Rajini and Jayalalithaa are not next door neighbours and actually live quite away from each other.

Many barbs against her through dialogues in films took place. 1996 the adopted son wedding gala fest and corruption added to Rajinikanth’s cryptic speech appealing to save Tamil Nadu did her in. Rajini continued with his barbs till 2001, when he fell silent. Jayalalithaa came back to power. She changed her security measures and became more people friendly. 

There were gossips of Rajini’s daughter Aishwarya and Simbu (actor- son of TR) seeing each other. They were studying in the same school run by Latha Rajinikanth.  A coffee shop was the meeting place. Soon scenario changed and rift happened between the two. Around that time, Kadhal Kondain with Dhanush as hero and his brother Selvaraghavan as director got released. At a preview, Aishwarya met Dhanush. Next day, a bouquet landed at Dhanush house. 

They met each other at many joints. At this time, Rajinikanth found that Dhanush was a simpleton and though his father Kasthoori Raja was a director – producer, he did not have any of the trappings of a filmy brat (  Simbu had in plenty).  Arranged match between two families took place and when it was said Jayalalithaa would come, many thought it was wishful thinking. It did happen. M Karunanidhi came for the reception. It was Latha Rajinikanth who through Sasikala got Madam to see them and accept the invitation. Before that Rajinikanth too chipped in his bit by calling Amma as Dhaariya Lakshmi (Goddess of courage) at the felicitation function. Aishwarya is three years older than Dhanush. He was 21 at time of marriage. 

Simbhu nursed his wounds of being ditched and made many barbs against Dhanush in his films and his fans enjoyed it. Dhanush got prime roles and soared ahead. Simbu got caught in charges of unprofessionalism. Simbu got in to relationships with Nayanthara and Hansika and broke up. On November 25th, 2021, release of Maanaadu changed everything. Simbu aka STR is hottest property in town. He was conferred a doctorate by Vels University in Chennai. ( Many upcountry media wrote it as Wales University). 

Leaked photos of Dhanush with Star Vijay anchor Divyadarshini ( DD) was one that did much damage. It was said that director A L Vijay ( Thalaivi ) and actress Amala Paul separated as the latter was in a relationship with Dhanush. Even  Dhanush name was dragged into the Samantha – Naga Chaitanya split. 

Aishwarya herself is a director ( film 3 ) and the song Kolaveri Di did give her mileage. Her Bharathanatyam recital at UN was heavily trolled. Despite all her shortcomings, she comes across a woman with a mind of her own. A quote from an interview with her - “ "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.". 

Incidentally younger sister Soundarya (married the second time) tweeted a congratulatory post on Simbhu getting doctorate and it had Dhanush fans fuming.
