In 2016, Soundarya applied for divorce with Ashwin and got separated subsequently.
Having started her career as a graphic designer, Soundarya has worked in films like "Baba", "Majaa", "Sandakozhi" and "Sivaji".
She made her directorial debut with "Kochadaiiyaan", in which her father starred, apart from founding Ocher Picture Productions.
