Filmmaker's Calm Reply to 'Second Family' Question

Filmmaker Lokesh Kangaraj recently addressed intrusive personal questions at a press conference. When asked if he intended to have a "second family," Kangaraj, who is married to Aishwarya and has two daughters, responded calmly, "No, sir. I already have a family." The director's composed reply came after a reporter alluded to social media rumors linking him with an actress.

This exchange sparked a strong reaction online, with many netizens criticizing the reporter's question as cheap and inappropriate. Users on X expressed anger, with one stating that such "mentality should be slammed on spot." Another comment highlighted that some reporters seemed unaware of his marital status and existing children.

Lokesh Kangaraj married Aishwarya on January 8, 2012, after a 12-year courtship. The couple welcomed their daughters, Adhvika and Aarudhra. Notably, Aishwarya once supported the family financially after their first daughter's birth, enabling Lokesh to pursue his passion for filmmaking over his banking career.

Kangaraj has consistently credited his wife for her unwavering support during his career ascent in the Tamil movie industry. He recently garnered praise for his film 'Coolie' starring Rajinikanth. Reports of him unfollowing co-stars Kamal Haasan and Rajinikanth were also addressed and dismissed.
