Aishwaryaa Rajinikanth drops estranged husband Dhanush's name from social media

Three months after announcing their separation, megastar Rajinikanth's daughter Aishwaryaa has removed the name of her estranged husband Dhanush from her social media bio.

Seems like Aishwaryaa doesn't want to give fans a false hope of her reconciliation with South superstar Dhanush after they had a friendly Twitter exchange last week.

The 40-year-old director has removed Dhanush's name from her Twitter and Instagram bio.

She changed her Twitter handle from @ash_r_dhanush to @ash_rajinikanth. Her Instagram bio now reads her name as Aishwaryaa Rajinikanth, however, the username is still Aishwaryaa R Dhanush (@aishwaryaa_r_dhanush).

Last week, Dhanush took to Twitter and congratulated Aishwaryaa on the release of her new song titled 'Payani'.

In a tweet, he addressed his ex-wife as his 'friend.'

"Congrats my friend @ash_r_dhanush on your music video #payani. God Bless," Dhanush tweeted.

Aishwaryaa reacted to his tweet and wrote, "Thank you Dhanush....Godspeed."
