Sivakarthikeyan stated his gratitude towards his wife for always standing beside him despite any life challenges.

In an interview with Hindustan Times, Sivakarthikeyan said, “My college friends encouraged me to do mimicry and take the stage, saying that I’ll do really well. And my wife Aarthy, she married me even before I came into cinema. In cinema, people will always find talent to showcase because it’s a business.

I should always be grateful to Aarthy.” Sivakarthikeyan married Aarthy in 2008 and they are proud parents of three children.
