Kollywood witnesses an increase in divorce rates

Numerous celebrities in the Tamil film industry have experienced marital conflict. This year, three notable figures—music director GV Prakash Kumar, actor Jayam Ravi, and Oscar-winning composer AR Rahman—have announced their separation from their spouses.

On September 9, Jayam Ravi, recognized for his roles in films such as Mani Ratnam’s “Ponniyan Selvan,” declared his divorce from Aarti Ravi after 15 years of matrimony. They have two sons together.

Tamil actor-composer GV Prakash Kumar, who recently composed music for several Telugu films, including “Lucky Baskhar,” announced his separation. He and his wife, Saindhavi, parted ways after years of marriage.

The most startling of these divorce declarations originated from AR Rahman.

The renowned music composer and his spouse have declared their separation following 29 years of matrimony. The couple acknowledged considerable emotional distress as the rationale for their split. Their offspring, Khatija, Raheema, and AR Ameen, have solicited privacy for the family during this period.

Music composer D Imman and actor Dhanush also filed divorces with their respective wives in the recent past.
