Dhanush has two sons from his marriage to Aishwarya Rajinikanth. Yatra Raja, the elder son, was born on October 10, 2006, and is said to be an aspiring cinematographer. Linga is the younger son, and both are often seen accompanying their father. While Dhanush and Aishwarya parted ways in 2022 after 18 years of marriage, they continue to co-parent their sons. On January 17, 2022, Dhanush announced their separation via a post on X, writing, “18 years of togetherness as friends, couple, as parents and well-wishers to each other. The journey has been one of growth, understanding, adjustment and adaptation. Today, we stand at a place where our paths separate.”
