Dhanush with his sons Yatra Raja and Linga Raja
Dhanush and Aishwaryaa Rajinikanth's elder son, Yatra Raja, has been reportedly fined by the Chennai police for a traffic rule violation. Recently, a video of him riding a superbike went viral on the internet. It appeared in the clip that a driving instructor was teaching him to operate the vehicle.
The Chennai police raised an objection as Yatra is yet to turn 18 and was riding the superbike without a driving license. The traffic police was alerted by the viral video and officials initiated an investigation immediately. They approached his mother, Aishwaryaa. The number plate of the superbike wasn't visible in the visuals. Aishwaryaa was reportedly questioned as Yatra covered his face with a mask. After the inquiry concluded, the cops imposed a fine of Rs 1000 for breaching traffic regulations and riding without a license.
On January 18, 2022, Dhanush and Aishwaryaa announced their separation. Yatra and his younger brother Linga Raja are reportedly being co-parented by the couple despite parting ways. In an official statement, Dhanush wrote, "18 years of togetherness as friends, couple, as parents and well wishers to each other. The journey has been of growth, understanding, adjusting and adapting... Today we stand at a place where our paths separate... Aishwaryaa and I have decided to part ways as a couple and take time to understand us as individuals for the better. Please do Respect our decision and give us the needed privacy to deal with this. Om Namashivaaya! Spread love, D."
Yatra and Linga celebrated Diwali with their maternal grandfather, Rajinikanth. Aishwaryaa shared pictures from the celebration and wrote, "My Deepavali. Hope you all had a blessed one!"
On September 3, Aishwaryaa shared a picture with Yatra and wrote, "Just One of those days when you look up at your son and proud of what you have made â¦"
Earlier this year, Dhanush paid a visit to the Tirupati temple with Yatra and Linga. They offered prayers at the temple and even got their heads shaved. Several pictures and videos went viral on the internet.
Workwise, Dhanush has signed his next Hindi film with Aanand L Rai. He is headlining the upcoming romantic thriller, Tere Ishk Mein.
