Dear friends and well-wishers

I wish to inform you all that Rajini and I have been separated for over a year and now legally divorced. We have a beautiful son and our top priority will always be to co-parent our kid and give him the best.

We have spent some wonderful years together and we will always remain as good friends and respect each other.

In the best interest of our kid and our families we request you all to respect our privacy.

Regards Vishnuu Vishal

Rajini is the daughter of the actor K Natraj and she was Vishal Vishnu's junior at his college, where they fell in love with each other. The two were in a relationship for four years before getting married. Their marriage had taken place at Hotel Asiana in Chennai on 2 December, 2011.
