Actress Sukanya Says The Girl In This Viral Pic Is Not Her Daughter

Actress Sukanya, one of the most sought-after actresses from the 90s, dominated the headlines in 2023 after a picture of her family went viral. The picture showed Sukanya with three women, one of whom was claimed to be her daughter. Now, in an interview with a portal, the 54-year-old actress has refuted this and said that she has no children. This is because, as per the Chinna Gounder actress, she filed for divorce from her husband within a few months of marriage.

The girl in the picture is her sister’s daughter. This photo raised curiosity among the actress’s fans, promoting speculation about her grown-up daughter. This was particularly because till now, Sukanya has maintained privacy about her personal life, refraining from sharing any information about it.

In 2003, after just a year of marriage, Sukanya went for a divorce due to disputes with her husband, leading her to live independently. In one of the interviews, the Chinna Gounder actress shared that women should not fear divorce. She emphasised the importance of open communication between spouses.

The 54-year-old actress believes that if mutual understanding fails, seeking legal means for divorce is the correct option. She motivated women not to endure an unhappy marriage, stating that this could lead to prolonged difficulties. The Chinna Gounder actress also revealed that her exit from acting was influenced by the control of a politician who influenced her life negatively. However, she now advocates for mutual divorce, expressing the significance of finding happiness alone.

Sukanya was initially reported to reprise her role as Veerasekaran Senapathy (Kamal Haasan)’s wife Aarthi Thangavel in Indian 2. However, actress Priya Bhavani Shankar took on the role. Priya went through significant makeup to portray an eighty-plus-year-old character for most of the film while maintaining a youthful appearance in flashback scenes.

Sukanya last acted in the film Thee Ivan, written and directed by TM Jayamurugan. Radha Ravi, John Vijay, Suman and others played key roles in this film produced by Manithan Cine Arts.
