Tamil actress Sukanya was one of the celebrated artists in the industry in the 90s. Initially credited as Arthi Devi in her debut film, Pudu Nellu Pudhu Nathu, she later changed her name to Sukanya for the screen on the advice of director Bharathiraja. Sukanya appeared in a slew of successful films like Chinna Counter, Mahanadi and Indian. However, after marriage, she quit the film industry and relocated to the US. The marriage did not last very long and soon she filed for a divorce from her husband. The former couple, who have a son and a daughter, are divorced now.
Sukanya has always been a very private person and uses social media sparingly as well. She refrains from posting about her personal life and she has never posted photos of her daughter and son as well. She maintained privacy regarding her children until last December, when a photo of Sukanya with a young woman was widely circulated, with the young girl said to be her daughter. The photo became viral as this was the first glance of Sukanya’s daughter and fans took keen interest in it. The former actress has now denied that the woman in the picture is her daughter.
In a recent interview, Sukanya revealed that it was her sister’s daughter in the picture and not her daughter. She said that she was not sure why the rumour spread since she had mentioned in the caption that it was her sister’s photo while sharing the photo itself. She also said that her sister’s daughter often jokes that she has had her moment of fame due to this entire fiasco.
Sukanya was originally set to return as Senapathy’s wife in Indian 2. Ultimately Priya Bhavani Shankar took on the role instead. Reportedly, Priya will undergo extensive makeup to depict an eighty-plus-year-old character for the majority of the film while appearing youthful in the flashback scenes.
