Despite being an actress and producer, Radhika Kumaraswamy always grabbed headlines for her personal life, thanks to her secret marriage to former Karnataka CM HD Kumaraswamy.
At the time of their wedding, HD Kumaraswamy was 47, and Radhika was 27 years younger than him. Radhika became HD Kumaraswamy's second wife. His first marriage took place in 1986.
Radhika's decision might have been beneficial for her personal life but her career in films was ruined forever because of it. There was also an uproar in the life of JDS leader and former Chief Minister of Karnataka HD Kumaraswamy.
