Some Lesser Known Facts About Rajathi Ammal

Rajathi was always fascinated by acting and started her career as part of the drama troupe run by poet Kannadasan in the mid-1960s.

She entered the life of an already married to Dayalu Ammal, and the father of 4 children, Karunanidhi and became his “partner” in the 1960s. Their extra-marital affair went in the public domain when Karunanidhi preferred to refer Rajathi as his daughter Kanimozhi’s mother.
