In an old interview with The Times Of India, Dhanush had revealed what had attracted him to his wife, Aishwaryaa Rajinikanth. When the actor was asked if the fact that Aishwaryaa was superstar, Rajinikanth’s daughter had made him attracted to her, Dhanush had replied:

"I don’t see her like that. I like her simplicity. If you think her father is simple, meet Aishwarya. She is 100 times simpler than her father. Aishwaryaa treats everybody as an equal and can be friends with anybody. I like the fact that she is bringing up our sons extremely well."

"I'm not going around justifying to people. I'm not going to tell people to put a microchip in my bum and follow me, so that they can know the truth. He is my best friend in the business. He has always helped me artistically. I won't throw that in trash just because people are talking nonsense about us. I've never bothered much about what people say."
