At a time when international pop icon Micheal Jackson was a rage all over the world, we were nurturing our very own desi version of the dancing sensation. You might have already guessed it; we are talking about Prabhu Deva, whose extraordinary dancing skills in the 90s made people compare him to Micheal Jackson himself. Although working predominantly in the Tamil film industry, his dancing skills in the song Mukkala Muqabla from the movie Kadhalan, dubbed as Hum Se Hai Muqabla in Hindi, made him a nationwide sensation. He has also directed blockbuster Bollywood films like Wanted and Rowdy Rathore. Prabhu Deva is known to be very shy in nature, but his personal life has often made news. Ramlath, who subsequently changed her name to Latha, was married to Prabhu Deva in 1995. The couple’s thirteen-year-old eldest son passed away from cancer in 2008, greatly affecting Prabhu Deva emotionally. Prabhu Deva reportedly fell in love with actress Nayanthara while still married to Latha.
In a family court case, Ramlath asked for a reunion with Prabhu Deva and requested that the actor be ordered to end his reported relationship with Nayanthara. In addition, Ramlath declared that if Prabhu Deva married Nayanthara, she would go on a hunger strike. Numerous women’s organisations staged demonstrations against Nayanthara, accusing her of defaming Tamil culture by setting a burning effigy of her. In 2011, Ramlath and Prabhu Deva got divorced.
Prabhu Deva surprised everyone by secretly marrying Himani Singh in 2020. The actor’s second wife is a physiotherapist by profession. Now, at the age of 50, Prabhu Deva welcomed his fourth child earlier this year. Prabhu Deva will be seen in an important role in Thalapathy 68 next.
