However, it is now being reported that there is trouble in paradise and that the duo is heading for a divorce. If the reports are to be true, the cause for the trouble is a difference of opinion between the two.

3. Dhanush and Aishwaryaa Rajinikanth
After 18 years of marriage, Dhanush and Aishwaryaa Rajinikanth announced that they were separating, back in 2022. Although no official reason was given by either, it was understood that irreconcilable differences were the major cause of the divorce. Needless to say, the news was a shocker for fans, who had seen and admired the chemistry they had on and off screen.
Although it was initially reported that the duo had decided not to file for a divorce, in April this year, it was reported that the duo had officially filed for a divorce in the Chennai family court, under section 13-B which is divorce by mutual consent.

Amala Paul and AL Vijay were undoubtedly one of the most popular couples in the 2010s. There were several rumors that the duo had started dating while working on the 2011 film Deiva Thirumagal, helmed by Vijay. However, both of them had initially denied the rumors.
Nonetheless, in 2014, they acknowledged their relationship publicly and even got married in June, of that year.
But their union was short-lived. In 2016, Amala Paul and AL Vijay separated owing to lifestyle differences. It was understood that the major catalyst in the divorce was that Amala Paul and her in-laws had a difference of opinion as the latter did not want the actress to continue with her career.
Nonetheless, everything seems to be going well for both of them now, as AL Vijay turned a new leaf in his life, and tied the knot with Dr. R Aishwarya in 2019. In 2023, Amala Paul too got married to her longtime boyfriend, and entrepreneur Jagat Desai.

However, Prabhu Deva was still married to his then-wife Latha. The controversy blew up with Latha refusing to sign the divorce papers, and even signed a suit at the family court, alleging that Prabhu Deva was in a relationship with another actress, and ignored his family.
After a series of controversies, Prabhu Deva and Latha finally settled for divorce. However, Nayanthara and Prabhu Deva broke up in 2011, and it is learned that the actor’s refusal to tie the knot with the actress is one of the major reasons for the breakup.
