Some Lesser Known Facts

Soundarya Rajinikanth is known as the younger daughter of the legendary actor Rajinikanth.
Her parents hail from different states; her father, Rajinikanth, is Maharashtrian, while her mother, Latha Rangachari, is Tamilian.
Soundarya attended the Ashram Matriculation Higher Secondary School in Chennai, established by her mother in the late 1990s.
She entered the Tamil film industry as a graphic designer and made her debut in 1999 by designing the title for the movie Padayappa.
Apart from Padayappa, she has also designed title sequences for movies like Baba (2001), Chandramukhi (2005), and Sivaji (2007).
Soundarya is the founder of Ocher Picture Productions, which partnered with Warner Bros Entertainment Inc in 2007 for Tamil film production and distribution.
Her production house released its first movie, Goa, in 2010.
Soundarya married Ashwin Ramkumar in September 2010; the couple later divorced in July 2017 and has a son named Ved Krishna.
She was set to direct Sultan: The Warrior, a 3D animated film with her father, Rajinikanth, but the project was shelved.
Her directorial debut was in 2014 with the film Kochadaiiyaan, making her the first Indian woman to direct her father in a feature film.
Her brother-in-law is Dhanush, a popular actor in the South Indian film industry, who is married to her elder sister, Aishwarya R. Dhanush.
Soundarya's second husband, Vishagan Vanangamudi, whom she married in 2019, is an actor and owns a pharmaceutical company in Chennai.
She mentioned in an interview that Vishagan was referred to her by one of Rajinikanth’s friends, and despite initial doubts post her previous divorce, a spark ignited upon their first meeting leading to their marriage.
At their wedding, Vishagan sought permission from Soundarya's son Ved, from her previous marriage, before marrying her, with plans to share the moment with Ved when he turns 18.
