It's known that the proximity between Shruti Hassan and Dhanush have set a few tongues wagging. Kollywood media, in its entirety, speculated about their brewing friendship that is seemingly graduating itself into another form. Their sighting in public places are meticulously scrutinised and reported. This issue reached its pinnacle when a weekly tabloid did a complete cover story on their budding relationship.
It was reported that the couple's proximity has irked superstar Rajinikanth, with whose elder daughter Aishwarya, Dhanush is married to. The tabloid quoted sources saying that Rajinikath called on Kasthuri Raja, Dhanush's dad, and reported on the issue asking him to talk to Dhanush about it. After this cover story was out, it was speculated that Shruti went ballistic reading it and was considering suing the magazine.
However, Shruti wrote a detailed letter to the magazine blaming them for writing unverified news and tarnishing her image. The magazine, in turn, turned apologetic and issued a public apology for publishing the story. Shruti posted it on twitter and Dhanush re-tweeted the same. Now you might think this is the end of the story. Hardly so. It looks like it's going to be the beginning of another one. For when Dhanush tweeted, he mentioned that he knows who the magazine's source was in publishing the story! Now that's taking a jibe at someone, we say. Stay tuned for more updates on this one.
