Tamil actor and filmmaker Arjun Sarja’s youngest daughter, Anjana Arjun, is making headlines after getting married. Anjana Arjun got married to her long-time boyfriend, Isai, on October 19, 2026.
Anjana Arjun took to Instagram to announce her wedding. She posted her wedding photos, captioning the post, “To forever. 19.10.2026 #14yearslater.”
The couple had been together for almost 14 years. They got engaged at Italy’s Lake Como in April 2025.
While fans are inclined towards Anjana’s relationship timeline, there is another interesting detail about her professional life: despite being the daughter of a renowned Tamil filmmaker, director, and actor, she has built a career in fashion and entrepreneurship.
Who Is Anjana Arjun?
Anjana Arjun, daughter of famous Arjun Sarja, is an eco-friendly fashion designer. However, she did not plan to be a fashion designer.
In a September 2022 interview with YourStory, she revealed that she wanted to become a photographer in her early career.
When she was enrolled at LASALLE College of the Arts in Singapore, she studied fashion media and industries. That course made her understand the business side of fashion, including marketing, finances, product development and packaging.
As a result, she developed an interest in building a fashion business and subsequently studied fashion marketing at Parsons School of Design in New York.
After graduating in 2015, she interned with American fashion label Proenza Schouler and Tahari, also known as Elie Tahari.
Then, she returned to India in 2019 and launched a brand of her own.
What Does Anjana Arjun Do For A Living?
Anjana founded Sarjaa in 2022. It is a premium and eco-friendly handbag label built with plant-based and sustainable materials.
In an interview with YourStory, Anjana explained her motivation: “I've always been interested in sustainability and sustainable materials in fashion. As someone really close to animals and nature, it’s very dear to me.”
She also revealed that she wanted to design sustainable apparel but eventually settled on handbags as a more practical starting point. Her research focused on alternatives to conventional animal leather.
According to Sarjaa’s official website, the bags were made from apple waste, pineapple and cactus. It also incorporates materials such as organic cotton, hemp and recyclable metal components.
The development process was not straightforward. In her interview, Anjana discussed the difficulty of sourcing apple leather and working with different plant-based materials. Matching each material to a particular design required testing and experimentation.
The first collection featured six designs, including Pracheen, Sebu, Dua, Punya, Kala and Kenti. The bags were designed for different uses, from work totes to compact handbags and clutches.
Why Did Anjana Arjun Not Become An Actress Like Her Father And Elder Sister?
There is no public statement from Anjana saying why she did not choose acting like her father or rejected acting roles.
However, her education, work experience and entrepreneurial interests could have built up interest in fashion. Rather than following the acting route taken by her father and elder sister, she returned to India to establish a business around sustainable accessories.
Arjun Sarja’s daughter, Anjana Arjun, recently married her longtime partner, Isai. While her wedding has grabbed attention, her journey from international fashion houses to building a sustainable handbag brand sets her apart.
