A prominent South Indian movie actress is right now one of the most trending topics on the Google Search. Yes, you heard it right! The actress is none other than Radhika, a leading Kannada film actress in the last decade.
Radhika is reportedly the second wife of the next Karnataka chief minister HD Kumaraswamy, who is set to take oath next Wednesday.
It's not just Kumaraswamy that is of interest to social media but also his family.
Radhika, who is also a film producer, is quite a popular face in the Kannada film industry and has acted in Tamil and Telugu movies too.
In her successful career, she worked with many stars, including Ravichandran and Upendra, before marrying Kumaraswamy in a low-profile, controversial wedding in 2006. Kumaraswamy, who runs a successful film production and distribution business, was the Karnataka CM in 2006-07.
Radhika reportedly married Ratan Kumar at the Sri Durga Parameshwari Temple, Kateel on 26 November 2000. Later, Radhika's mother wanted the marriage to be annulled as Radhika was just 14 years old and said that Ratan Kumar had forcibly married her. Ratan Kumar died in August 2002, following a heart attack.
In November 2010, Radhika revealed that she was married to H. D. Kumaraswamy. According to Radhika, they married in 2006. They have a daughter, Shamika K. Swamy.
Radhika stayed away from the limelight and returned to the industry as a producer with Lucky in 2013.
After tasting success as a producer in her first movie, Radhika made a comeback to acting with Sweety Nanna Jodi and subsequently worked with Chiranjeevi Sarja in Rudra Tandava.
