On December 12 in Mumbai, legendary actor Rajinikanth turned 75. To honor the occasion, film star Dhanush posted a heartfelt birthday message to his former father‑in‑law on social media.
Using his X (formerly Twitter) account, Dhanush wrote, “Happy birthday thalaiva,” and added emojis of folded hands, a smiling face with sunglasses, and a red heart.
A quick rundown of his personal history: Dhanush was married to Rajinikanth’s eldest daughter, Aishwarya Rajinikanth, for almost two decades before the couple called it quits in 2022. They have two sons together, Yatra and Linga.
Despite the split, the actor seems to keep a friendly relationship with Rajinikanth, as reflected in their mutual posts online.
When Dhanush and Aishwarya announced their separation, they issued a joint statement mentioning 18 years of companionship as friends, partners, parents, and well‑wishing allies. They explained that they had decided to part ways as a couple in order to pursue personal growth, and they requested privacy and respect for their decision. The statement ended with a blessing: “Om Namashivaaya! Spread love.”
Fans and fellow entertainers flooded Rajinikanth with warm greetings on his 75th birthday, adding to the celebratory atmosphere.
In addition, the star’s iconic 1999 film Padayappa is being re‑released on Friday as part of the milestone festivities.
In a recent interview, Rajinikanth admitted that when he first conceived the role of Neelambari, he pictured Aishwarya Rai in mind. He explained that they spent nearly three months attempting to secure her for the part, even reaching out through her relatives, and if she had agreed, they’d have waited a year for her.
