When DhanushВ arrived with a bang in his elder brother's film Kaadal Kondein, he was hailed as the next Rajnikant for his lean and dark figure. Rajni's announcement has put a stop on the gossip mongers, but only for the time being. He also said that it was with his consent that Dhanush met the press. After the screening, he told mediapersons assembled there that the marriage has his 'approval and blessings'. The next day, Rajnikant was at the same theatre after the shooting of Chandramukhi was cancelled due to rain, to see Selvaraghavan's 7-G Rainbow Colony. Some newspapers reported that the wedding did not have Rajnikant's consent, and that was why Dhanush held the press conference alone without anyone from either family. The marriage will be a simple but strictly private affair, and in all probability will be conducted at the Raghavendra Kalyana Mandapam owned by the superstar.Д®ven after Dhanush confirmed the news, rumour mongers did not stop. The Dhanush-Aishwarya marriage will be solemnised on the November 18, a week after his film DreamsВ releases. Dhanush had to discontinue his studies to act in films.ДЄskedВ if he was perturbed by the fact that Aishwarya is older than him, he retorted with apparent irritation, 'The age factor does not affect me at all.' In Dhanush's family, he is the only one who is not well educated both his sisters are doctors, and brother Selvaraghavan is an engineer. Academically, she is better qualified than Dhanush who has only completed his schooling. She has studied corporate law at the Ashram School of Law (run by her mother, Latha). I reiterate that ours is not a love marriage.'ДЄishwarya, 25,В is an accomplishedВ dancer and singer, and she has also assisted in the making of her father's last film Baba. 'So, I have to thank the media for my marriage with Aishwarya.

Finally, they thought, what is wrong with the idea of marriage? When the media started writing about their 'alleged' affair, the two families sat together to find a way to dispel the rumours. He knew Aishwarya for some time but only as his elder sister's friend. No, it was not a love marriage at all, he said. His 28-year-old brother Selvaraghavan is yet to get married. He thanked the media for making him realise his dream of marrying before he turned 23. A visibly happy Dhanush then announced to the press that he was getting married to Aishwarya,В Rajnikant's eldest daughter. Yes, finally the camera started rolling for Chandramukhi in Chennai.Д®ven then,В the most interesting event of the week was the hurriedly organised press conference onВ October 21 at the Good Luck preview theatre by the most promising young star of Tamil cinema, 22-year-old Dhanush.Дressed in black, the young actor arrived in a Black Honda accompanied by his manager.
