Kamal Haasan was born in a Tamil Iyengar Brahmin family and started his acting journey as a child artist. He debuted in a film titled Kalathoor Kannamma, released in 1960. Ever since, the actor's success seems to have no bounds. He has given lasting performances in numerous Indian films in multiple languages, including Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, and Hindi.
Kamal Haasan was first married to Vani Ganapathy, who was a trained dancer. However, their relationship ended in divorce after being married for a decade. Reportedly, the actor was linked to Sarika at the time of divorce, whom he later married. The couple was blessed with two daughters named Shruti and Akshara, but this relationship also didn’t last long, and the duo moved in for a divorce.
In an interview with Simi Garewal, Kamal Haasan once opened up about the breakdown of his first marriage. He said, “It wasn’t working, at least for me. I won’t lie. It went beyond caring; it became harsh, and I wanted to be happy. I was fast losing faith in the institution of marriage itself at that time. I always spoke of it loudly, to the shock of people. I said it on the first day I got married that I didn’t want to.”
In another statement, Kamal Haasan revealed how his first marriage led him to bankruptcy. His first wife, Vani Ganapthy, while speaking with Deccan Chronicle in 2015 opened up about the marriage issues and said, “For 28 years, we have been divorced. I have always refrained from mudslinging because it’s a very private affair… but we have both moved on now. Why does he behave like a man obsessed?”
Talking about Kamal’s bankruptcy statement, Vani said, “He even refused to give me used appliances from our shared flat. What could I expect from a man like that? In what court in the world has alimony been allowed to drive someone to bankruptcy? I was completely shocked when I read it. His ego must have been hurt when I walked out of the marriage, but so much has happened since. He could have said financial crisis and let the subject pass.”
