Soundarya Rajinikanth and Vishagan tied the knot in an intimate wedding ceremony in 2019. She was earlier married to Ashwin Ramkumar from 2010 to 2016 and later officially divorced by mutual consent in July 2017. They both share a son together, Ved, born on May 6, 2015. 

On the work front, Soundarya started her career in the film industry as an assistant director and worked on the graphic design of several films like her father Rajinikanth's Baba and Sivaji, before making her directorial debut with Kochadaiiyaan. She then directed Velaiilla Pattadhari 2 in 2017, which saw two-time National Award-winning actor Dhanush, Amala Paul, and Samuthirakani reprise their roles from the 2014 blockbuster Velaiilla Pattadhari. Soundarya has been busy with the work on the Ponniyin Selvan web series, which she is co-producing under the May 6th Entertainment banner in association with MX Player. The first season titled 'Puthu Vellam' was locked last year and an announcement is awaited regarding the project next.
