Soundarya always keeps a low profile when it comes to her personal life. If there is anything she discusses in an interview, it’s her work and films. Talking to RITZ magazine in 2016, when she was asked why she has decided to part ways with her husband, she only replied, “I don’t wish to discuss it. Whatever decision has been taken wasn’t overnight and was after a lot of thought.

With numerous achievements in her kitty, she must be proud of herself. So, what’s the one thing that she is immensely proud of? Soundarya was asked this question in the same interview, and she said that she is a proud mother. She was quoted as saying, “I wouldn’t even think twice. I am most proud to be a mom. I am very proud that I am able to balance my life in such a way that my son comes first for me and I am a working woman too.”
On managing her personal and professional life with a son at home, Soundarya said, “That is what life is all about. Life is about balancing and I love doing it. I spend plenty of time with my baby and always make sure I am with him for his meals and I take him to school. I have to thank my mother for making this happen for me, she’s a wonderful grandmother and loves her role to bits.” (Don't Miss: Parineeti Chopra Slams Media House For Reporting She Will Not Be A Bridesmaid At Priyanka's Wedding)
