Months after announcing divorce, Dhanush, ex-wife Aishwaryaa Rajinikanth's Twitter exchange leaves fans surprised

Actor Dhanush took to social media to congratulate his estranged wife Aishwaryaa Rajinikanth for her new song 'Payani'. Dhanush congratulated her on Twitter, calling her, his ‘friend'.

NEW DELHI: South superstar Dhanush sent the internet into a tizzy after he congratulated his estranged wife and filmmaker Aishwaryaa Rajinikanth for her new music video 'Payani' on social media. Dhanush, who has been keeping himself away from social media ever since he announced his separation from his wife in January this year, took to Twitter to wish her. 

Aishwaryaa’s music video was unveiled on Thursday (March 17) in four languages - Hindi, Telugu, Malayalam, and Tamil. Sharing the Tamil link of the video, Dhanush tweeted, "Congrats my friend, @ash_r_dhanush, on your music video. God bless." 

Aishwaryaa too responded to his tweet and wrot, "Thank you Dhanush… Godspeed!" 

For the unversed, this was the first social media exchange ever since the duo announced their split early this January.

However, Dhanush’s tweet left his fans heartbroken as the actor addressed Aishwaryaa as his 'friend'. Rumours were rife that the former couple’s families were trying hard to resolve the differences between Aishwaryaa and Dhanush.
