These photos were a stark contrast to her on-screen persona, yet they told a powerful love story of their own. In April 2021, she took to Instagram to celebrate her 11th wedding anniversary with her husband, Canada-based businessman Indrakumar Pathmanathan. The photo she shared was a beautifully simple, heartfelt snapshot: she posed with a bouquet and a card, but this wasn't any ordinary card. It was handmade by her daughters, featuring goofy, cute drawings and a deeply personal message. "11 years of togetherness our daughters made this googly cute card for us," she captioned the post, tagging it with #couplegoals and #together. For fans who had grown up watching her in romantic dramas, this real-life, low-key celebration felt like the most authentic happy ending.
: Her past work included legendary romantic leads opposite stars like Rajinikanth, Salman Khan, and Thalapathy Vijay.
While 2021 showcased a happy and settled family life, the journey was not without its challenges. Reports dating back to 2019 suggested that the couple was on the verge of divorce. However, those rumors were quickly dispelled as the pair remained together and continued to share their lives publicly. By 2021, it was clear that the family had weathered those storms, focusing on their three children: daughters Laanya and Sasha, and son Shivin.
Her pairing with superstars like Salman Khan in Judwaa or her work in Bandhan are still fondly remembered.
