Soundarya Rajinikanth was born on September 20, 1984, to her parents, Rajinikanth and Latha. She is the couple's younger daughter and was born on January 1, 1982, two years after the birth of her elder sister, Aishwarya Rajinikanth. There's no denying that Aishwarya is the one, who is more popular among the masses, courtesy of her work in South cinema. Another major reason why she is more prevalent in the media is due to her marriage to South Indian superstar, Dhanush and their eventual divorce.
Unlike her elder sister, Aishwarya, Soundarya Rajinikanth prefers to live a life away from the spotlight. However, every now and then, we see her name flashing on the news headlines due to her personal and professional fronts. For the uninitiated, Soundarya is a professional graphic designer, who has worked in over 13 films in a span of 18 years. Although she did a cameo in P. Vasu's film, Kuselan's song, Cinema Cinema, but most of the time, she worked as a graphic designer.

According to several reports, Soundarya Rajinikanth and Ashwin Ramkumar faced a series of irreconcilable issues in their marriage that were nowhere near being solved. Some reports also speculated that Ashwin was reportedly unhappy with his ex-wife because she used to refer to herself as 'Soundarya Rajinikanth' even after their marriage. However, the two never addressed these rumours and maintained their dignified silence. After her divorce from Ashwin in July 2017, Soundarya found love again in a businessman named, Vishagan Vanangamudi.
It was on February 11, 2019, when Soundarya Rajinikanth got married to Vishagan Vanangamudi.

Time and again, we have seen Soundarya dropping adorable pictures with her sons, Ved and Veer, on her Instagram handle.
Once, in an old interview with a news portal, Soundarya Rajinikanth shared a beautiful anecdote from her wedding. She revealed that her second husband, Vishagan Vanangamudi, impressed her when he refused to tie the knot with her without Ved's presence.
