The seven-year marriage of superstar Rajinikanth’s daughter Soundarya came to an end on Tuesday, when a family court in Chennai passed an order of judicial separation. The principal family court judge Maria Clatta formalised the separation, after Soundarya and her estranged businessman-husband Ashwin stood firm on their decision to end the marriage.

Soundarya and Ashwin, who got married in September 2010, reportedly, agreed to part ways with mutual consent. According to the media reports, it was Soundarya who had filed the mutual consent divorce petition in September last year. The now ex-couple is also said to be living separately for over a year now.

The couple’s troubled marriage came into the limelight a while ago. As per reports published, “Though initially the news of marital discord was being denied by both Soundarya and Ashwin, the fact that Soundarya kept saying that she always felt proud to identify herself as ‘Soundarya Rajinikanth’, triggered debate over the status of their marriage.”

While the terms of the settlement haven’t been revealed, the entire divorce proceedings went on smoothly. Besides, no mention has been made about the custody of Soundarya-Ashwin’s four-year old son Ved.

Soundarya’s next film ‘Velaiilla Pattadhari 2‘ or ‘VIP 2‘ releases later this month. VIP 2 features Dhanush in lead role with Bollywood actress Kajol as an antagonist. Dhanush, the husband of Rajinikanth’s another daughter, is also the producer of the film.
