In a recent interview, Aishwaryaa Rajinikanth made a rare comment about her ex-husband, Dhanush. Aishwaryaa was asked about giving Anirudh Ravichander a platform to make his music debut with the film, 3, which starred Dhanush and Shruti Haasan in the lead. For the unversed, Anirudh composed the viral track, Why This Kolaveri Di, among other hit songs. Responding to the same, Aishwaryaa shared that the credit to kickstarting Anirudh’s music career goes to Dhanush and said:

“I am happy that he has become one of the most sought-after music directors. However, his entry into the film industry has no connection with me. He is my cousin but his musical talents were recognised by Dhanush. He encouraged him to compose the songs of 3. His entry into the cinema industry was fully because of Dhanush.”

Speaking along the same lines, Aishwaryaa also revealed that Anirudh's parents had a different plan for him and they wanted him to move to Singapore and pursue higher studies. However, Dhanush convinced Anirudh's parents to let him explore his musical talents and help him flourish in his musical career. Aishwaryaa said:
“Anirudh’s parents originally wanted him to move to Singapore and pursue higher studies. Dhanush convinced Anirudh’s parents to let him explore his musical talents. From buying him a keyboard to pushing for him to compose the songs of 3, the credit goes to Dhanush. Anirudh’s entry into the industry is because of Dhanush. But today, where he has reached is because of his hard work. And I am happy for him.”
