Soundarya shares a very warm bond with her father, Rajinikanth. In yet another interview with The Times of India, she had talked about her childhood days and had stated, “We had a great childhood, even though my father was a really busy man shooting three shifts. My mother made sure we did not miss not having our father around and did not miss doing what children do at a particular age, for instance, going to Disneyland or Universal Studios. My mother came from an upper-middle-class Brahmin Iyengar family, while my father is a Maharashtrian, born and brought up in Karnataka. He had lost his mother when he was six and his father after my elder sister was born.”

In an interview with The Times Of India, Soundarya had shared her experience of directing her father in the movie, Kochadaiiyaan. She had opened up on the same and had stated, “I used to watch films in all languages, but was always a Rajinikanth fan. So, first and foremost, it was such a blessing directing him in my first film. I would say 'action' but even when the scene was over, I would not say 'cut' as I just wanted to continue seeing him perform. I would see rushes and start clapping in my room. It was awkward for him, with me as the director. My mom once asked me what I was shooting and I said, 'I am shooting a romantic scene with appa.' It was cute but awkward. I am extremely possessive and protective of him." (Also Read: Priyanka Chopra Jonas Finally Reveals The Moment When She Had Decided To Date Nick Jonas)
