In an interview some years ago, Aishwarya had said, "The best thing about our relationship is the fact that we give each other plenty of space. Neither of us believes in changing for the other person just because we want to be together. When you are in your mid-20ss your mind is set in terms of what you believe in and it is very hard to change yourself."

Actor Dhanush was last seen in Bollywood film Atrangi Re along with Sara Ali Khan and Akshay Kumar. The film received mixed reviews from the viewers and critics but Dhanush's performance was applauded. He is currently working on a number of projects such as Sir, The Gray Man and Maaran.
