In a rare and emotional interview, Tamil actor Vishnu Vishal opened up about the end of his first marriage, shedding light on a topic which has been clouded for several years. The actor, well known for his candour and down-to-earth interviews, recently revealed how his former wife Rajini Natraj had initiated the process of divorce — and not him.
Rajini and Vishnu Vishal were wedded in 2010 and were regarded as the highly respected couple of Kollywood until the couple parted ways in 2018. Although the fans had been guessing various reasons for their break-up, Vishnu’s confession now shed a new light upon the emotional upheaval that he had undergone at that point of time.
💔 “She Was the One Who Wanted the Divorce”
Speaking to a popular media outlet, Vishnu said,
“Several years after our wedding, my wife began psychiatric treatment for postpartum depression. During that time, I had to mentally manage a lot while continuing to act in films. Eventually, she decided that I wasn’t giving her enough support and chose to separate from me. She was the one who wanted the divorce, not me.”
What he spoke has touched the hearts of the audience, and all have been praising him for his candour and openness. Vishnu specifically indicated that he doesn’t harbor any malice and accepts the choice, though it had hurt him immensely.
💍 Life After Divorce
After the breakup, Vishnu Vishal went on to marry renowned athlete and actress Jwala Gutta in 2021. The two frequently post about their blissful life on social media, representing second chances and emotional healing.
