Personal life

Marriage

In March 2018 Sasikala Pushpa married Ramaswamy in violation of the order of the Madurai Family Court to stay the marriage. The stay of the Court was based on a complaint lodged by wife of Ramasamy from their previous marriage, who says she is still married to Ramaswamy, and has not yet officially divorced him. The court has said that the first marriage is still valid.
Ramasamy has a daughter from his previous marriage and his previous wife alleged of constant death threats to her family for the last 6 months threatening her to divorce Ramasamy.
