  "account": "Soundarya Rajinikanth, currently promoting her Netflix film Love, has spoken about her experiences with love and marriage. She mentioned that her parents, Rajinikanth and Latha, are now moving away from the male-dominated dynamics at home she grew up with. Soundarya recalled her parents being her \"rocks\" during her divorce from businessman Ashwin Ramkumar nearly a decade ago. She believes the concept of love changes over time, and her own experiences evolved as she aged. Even during her divorce, which happened in 2017 after they had a son, Ved, Soundarya and her new husband Vishagan Vanangamudi follow a simple formula in their relationship - they say they meet each other halfway. Soundarya emphasized that her failed first marriage did not make her doubt the institution of marriage, but rather helped her understand she was in the wrong relationship.",
