The trailer launch of Aanand L Rai\u2019s much-anticipated film Tere Ishk Mein turned unexpectedly emotional when actor Dhanush was asked a simple, universal question: What does he think about love? What followed was a moment that instantly grabbed attention, especially in light of his recent divorce from Aishwarya Rajinikanth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With his co-star Kriti Sanon by his side, Dhanush revealed a surprisingly candid and sharp take on love, leaving the room buzzing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
During the Q&A session, someone asked Dhanush and Kriti to share their thoughts on love. Kriti immediately nudged the question toward him, but the actor hesitated before saying, \u201cI don\u2019t know.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The room chuckled, teasing him for being \u201ctoo young\u201d to answer such a deep question. Dhanush then delivered the line that made everyone sit up:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI think it\u2019s just another overrated emotion.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The audience reacted with surprise, some letting out dramatic oohs and aahs. Kriti tried to lighten the mood, saying the comment didn\u2019t match his romantic character Shankar in the film. Dhanush quickly clarified that he is nothing like his on-screen persona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This one line has now become the most talked-about moment of the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dhanush\u2019s remark comes less than a year after his divorce from Aishwarya Rajinikanth was finalized. The couple were together for nearly 20 years before announcing their separation\u2014making his comment about love feel raw, honest, and, in many ways, revealing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While Dhanush often keeps his personal life guarded, his moment of vulnerability on stage reflected the complexity of where he might emotionally stand today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dhanush married Aishwarya, the elder daughter of superstar Rajinikanth, on November 18, 2004. They became parents to two sons, Yatra in 2006 and Linga in 2010. For years, they were considered one of the most stable and respected couples in the South Indian film industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, after months of speculation, the duo announced their separation on January 14, 2022. Their statement was heartfelt:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEighteen years of togetherness as friends, couple, parents, and well-wishers. The journey has been of growth, understanding, adjusting and adapting. Today we stand at a place where our paths separate.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Their divorce was officially granted on November 27, 2024, marking the end of a significant chapter in both their lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Despite navigating major personal changes, Dhanush has had a packed year professionally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He opened 2025 with Sekhar Kammula\u2019s bilingual film Kuberaa, starring alongside Rashmika Mandanna, Nagarjuna, and Jim Sarbh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He then stepped into triple duty as director, producer, and actor in Idli Kadai, which stars Nithya Menen and Arun Vijay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
His next big project, Tere Ishk Mein, hits theatres on November 28. The film brings him back together with director Aanand L Rai, a filmmaker known for giving Dhanush some of his most memorable Hindi roles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He is also working on a film with Vignesh Raja and an upcoming biopic of music legend Ilaiyaraaja.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Despite personal challenges, Dhanush\u2019s creative drive remains strong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kriti Sanon, who stars opposite Dhanush in Tere Ishk Mein, tried to cushion the moment. When she joked that Shankar, Dhanush\u2019s character, would disagree with his take, the actor firmly reminded everyone that he is very different from the romantic personality he plays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Her light-hearted reaction helped balance the intensity of the moment, highlighting the easy chemistry the actors share both on and off screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dhanush rarely makes bold public statements about his personal life, which is why his \u201coverrated emotion\u201d comment immediately caught fire on social media. Fans and news outlets began connecting the dots between his words and the emotional aftermath of a long, high-profile marriage ending.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For many, Dhanush\u2019s honesty felt refreshing. For others, it brought up questions about how personal pain shapes an artist\u2019s worldview. Either way, it sparked discussions far beyond the trailer event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tere Ishk Mein, as the title suggests, revolves around intense emotion and romance. Dhanush\u2019s comment adds an intriguing contrast to his role, making the film even more anticipated. Viewers now wonder how his personal perception of love might influence his performance in a story built around passion and longing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dhanush\u2019s stance also highlights a broader truth: celebrities are often expected to uphold perfect ideals of love, while their private lives may be much more complicated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With Tere Ishk Mein releasing soon, Dhanush is set to appear in multiple interviews, press events, and promotional activities. Whether he expands on his comment or chooses to keep it brief remains to be seen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What is certain is that his words have already added a layer of depth and curiosity to the discussion around the film, his life, and how stars express vulnerability in public spaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
