Some Lesser Known Facts About Rajathi Ammal

Rajathi was always fascinated by acting and started her career as part of the drama troupe run by poet Kannadasan in the mid-1960s.

She entered the life of an already married to Dayalu Ammal, and the father of 4 children, Karunanidhi and became his “partner” in the 1960s. Their extra-marital affair went in the public domain when Karunanidhi preferred to refer Rajathi as his daughter Kanimozhi’s mother.

Though Karunanidhi secretly married Rajathi, the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, considers it as an illegal marriage and as an offence in the eyes of law to have more than one wife at a time.

Her step-son Stalin took the baton from his father as his political successor after the 2016 assembly elections.
