At a recent promotional event in Hyderabad for his upcoming film Madharaasi, actor Sivakarthikeyan opened up about one of the most cherished aspects of his life, the support of his wife, Aarthy.

When asked if there were people who stood by him before he became the star he is today, Sivakarthikeyan became candid and emotional, recalling how his journey began. He fondly spoke about his college friends, who were the first to recognize his talent and encouraged him to perform on stage, pushing him toward mimicry and stand-up comedy, the very foundation of his career.

But when it came to his wife, his gratitude ran even deeper. Sivakarthikeyan shared that Aarthy said yes to marrying him before he was an actor, before the fame, before the films, and even before he had a stable income. “She believed in me when I had nothing,” he said. “I didn’t even have a proper salary back then, but she trusted me and thought I could take care of her. That’s something I will always be grateful for.”

From winning Kalakka Povathu Yaaru back in 2006 to delivering his career-best performance in Amaran (2024), Sivakarthikeyan has come a long way, but through every high and low, Aarthy has remained his constant. Their journey together isn’t just a love story; it’s a reminder that true partnership is about faith, patience, and standing by each other when the future is still uncertain.

With Madharaasi, directed by AR Murugadoss and set for release on September 5, Sivakarthikeyan is gearing up for another exciting chapter in his career and right by his side, as always, is Aarthy, the woman who believed in his dreams before the world even noticed.
