Veteran actress Rohini recently opened up about her ex-husband in Raghuvara and the struggles he experienced during their marriage. Indian cinema has seen many memorable actors, and Raghuvaran is definitely one of them. He is famous for his powerful performances in Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam and Hindi cinema. As she continues to celebrate her legacy on screen, Rohini shared some personal experiences from their years together and how those years influenced her professional life.
Why Rohini left films after marriage
In a recent interview, Rohini revealed that Raghuvaran did not agree with her continuing her acting career after marriage. According to him, he preferred to focus on family life instead. “Raghuvaran never supported my film career. He expected me to be a housewife,” she said. As Rohini explained, this was one of the main reasons why she stayed away from films for almost seven years after her marriage. Raghuvaran added that she grew up in an environment where women did not go out to work, and this mindset affected her expectations after marriage.
Long journey back to cinema
Rohini said it took time and effort to get back into the industry and rebuild her career. “It took me quite some time to get out of that situation,” he shared. He bounced back from obstacles, even becoming a director. Looking back, those experiences helped shape me as a person, said the actor. He also emphasized the importance of women being able to follow their ambitions and maintain their own identity, regardless of their personal situation.
A journey beyond labels and relationships
The actress also expressed her disappointment at being identified only as Raghuvaran’s ex-wife. “I have been in the industry for about 52 years. I lived with Raghuvaran for only seven years,” he said. While admitting that Raghuvaran was an important part of her life and the father of her son, Rohini insists that he has built her long and successful career. “Ask me about my movie, ask about me. I deserve that as a person, as an actress,” she added. Her comments have sparked debate among fans, with many praising her honesty about her experience and the importance of recognizing a woman’s successes outside of her romantic relationship.
