Jul 28,2022
'We shed blood, you shed tears... Aashiqui has not become lathi-charged, 'If this girl who is sitting with dead eyes says yes even today, then the oath of Mahadev should come back' .... till now So you must have understood what we are talking about. Yes, we are talking about Kundan i.e. Dhanush of 'Ranjhana'. As much fame as Dhanush has earned in South films, his name is also in Bollywood. Today he has become a pan India star due to just a few Hindi films and continuous superhits. But Raanjhana's Kundan may have left a deep impression in the hearts of the audience with this film, but he had become famous in Hindi before that. Only one song of Dhanush was captured on the tongue of people from South to Hindi and that song was 'Why this Kolaveri Di. So, on the birthday of Dhanush, born on 28 July 1983, let us know some unheard stories of his life.
Actor Dhanush got popular overnight with the song 'Why this Kolaveri Di. Released in the year 2011, this song was sung by Dhanush in his voice. At that time this song was the most searched in India. Famous singer and actor Dhanush wrote this popular song in just six minutes. According to media reports, the first recording of the song was ready in 35 minutes. After 2 years of this song, Dhanush entered Bollywood.
Very few people know about Dhanush's real name. His full name is Venkatesh Prabhu Kasturi Raja. In the year 2002, Dhanush made his debut with the Tamil film 'Thullovado Ilimai'. Dhanush's acting in the film was highly praised, but no one knew him in the Hindi belt then. After Kolavari D, in the year 2013, Aanand L Rai cast her in the film Raanjhanaa. Kundan and Zoya's love story is shown in Raanjhanaa. In which the boy is Hindu and the girl is Muslim. At the end of the film, Kundan kills Zoya by cutting her vein in love. Due to the dialogues of this film and Kundan's character, Raanjhanaa was very much liked by the audience.
Dhanush's second Hindi film was 'Shamitabh' opposite Amitabh Bachchan. In the film, Dhanush's character could not speak, so Amitabh Bachchan becomes his voice. Dhanush's acting in the film was highly praised, although it could not do anything special at the box office. Dhanush married South superstar Rajinikanth's daughter Aishwarya in 2004. After marriage, both of them had two sons 'Yathra' and 'Linga'. After 18 years of marriage, Dhanush and Aishwarya got divorced. Both ended this relationship with mutual consent and announced it on social media. Dhanush is currently in discussion about his Hollywood film The Gray Man. He is making his Hollywood debut through this film.
