Rajinikanth Turns 75: Dhanush’s Heartfelt Birthday Wish Goes Viral
Actor shares a simple yet warm greeting for former father-in-law, celebrating years of respect and admiration
Mumbai, Dec 12 ; Superstar Rajinikanth celebrated his 75th birthday on December 12, and social media erupted with messages from fans, celebrities, and political leaders. Among the flood of greetings, one message quietly stood out a heartfelt birthday wish from actor Dhanush, who once shared both admiration and family ties with the Thalaiva.
Dhanush took to X (formerly Twitter) early in the day and wrote just four words: “Happy birthday thalaiva”, accompanied by emojis including folded hands, starry eyes, sunglasses, and a heart. The simple gesture instantly captured attention, highlighting the enduring bond between the two actors despite life taking them on separate paths.
The connection goes beyond admiration. Dhanush was married to Rajinikanth’s elder daughter Aishwarya from 2004 until their separation in 2022. The couple shared 18 years together, creating many memories, yet both have maintained mutual respect after parting ways.
Fans appreciated the grace and maturity reflected in Dhanush’s greeting, noting how it underscored their continued respect and warmth despite the end of the family relationship. The former couple had announced their separation through a joint statement, emphasizing privacy and mutual respect.
Even today, the birthday wish serves as a reminder of the special bond and admiration Dhanush has always held for Rajinikanth, proving that personal changes haven’t dimmed their regard for each other.
