Starring the late Captain Vijayakanth as \u2018Panneer Selvam\u2019, the film marked a strong comeback for the actor, who had already delivered several hits in the 1980s.<\/p>\n<p id=\"1\" class=\"story_para_1\">Directed by Subhash, an assistant to Mani Ratnam, <em>Chatriyan<\/em> featured an impressive cast including Bhanupriya, Revathi, and Thilakan, with music composed by Ilaiyaraaja. The film enjoyed a remarkable 150-day run in theatres, and its dialogues remain popular even today. Among the memorable performances was that of the little girl who played Vijayakanth\u2019s daughter, a child artist who would go on to become a familiar face in Tamil cinema.<\/p>\n<p id=\"2\" class=\"story_para_2\">That child actress is none other than Aarthi, who is now a well-known comedy star. Aarthi has acted alongside some of Tamil cinema\u2019s biggest names, including Thalapathy Vijay, Ajith, Suriya, and Dhanush, leaving her mark on both the big and small screens. She recently appeared in the film <em>Mr. and Mrs.<\/em>, produced by Vanitha Vijayakumar.<\/p>\n<p id=\"3\" class=\"story_para_3\">Aarthi began her career at an astonishingly young age, making her debut at just six months old in <em>Vanna Kanavukal<\/em>. Over the years, she worked in several notable films, including T. Rajender\u2019s <em>En Thangai Kalyani<\/em> and Mani Ratnam\u2019s <em>Anjali<\/em>. Her comic timing and screen presence earned her the prestigious Kalaimamani Award from the Tamil Nadu government.<\/p>\n<p id=\"4\" class=\"story_para_4\">In October 2009, Aarthi married actor Ganeshkar at the Guruvayur temple. The two had reconnected on the dance reality show <em>Manada Mayilada<\/em>. Interestingly, Aarthi once shared that she first met her husband when she was just two years old, while acting in a film where he played her brother.<\/p>\n<p id=\"5\" class=\"story_para_5\">Ganeshkar, like Aarthi, began as a child artist and has acted in numerous films and television shows, primarily in comedic roles. Their connection goes back decades to when they appeared together in <em>En Thangai Kalyani<\/em>, a coincidence that has since become part of their unique love story.<\/p>\n<p id=\"6\" class=\"story_para_6\">After <em>Chatriyan<\/em>, Aarthi took a break from films before returning in 2004, this time firmly establishing herself as a comedy actress. She became a familiar presence in Tamil cinema and television, known for her lively performances and versatility. In 2017, she participated in <em>Bigg Boss Tamil<\/em> hosted by Kamal Haasan. Although evicted, she later returned to the house as a guest contestant, further cementing her popularity with audiences.<\/p>\n<p id=\"7\" class=\"story_para_7\">From a six-month-old baby on screen to one of Tamil cinema\u2019s most recognisable comedy stars, Aarthi Ganeshkar\u2019s journey is as heartwarming as it is remarkable. Her enduring presence in the industry, coupled with her real-life love story with fellow actor Ganeshkar, continues to charm fans, proving that sometimes, life\u2019s best scripts are written off-screen.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"jsx-4625396a04d15488 jsx-488204213 coral-count-custom\">view comments<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-4625396a04d15488 jsx-488204213 brdcrmb\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/\">News<\/a>  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/entertainment\/\">entertainment<\/a>  <span class=\"brdout\"> Played Siblings At Age 2, Later Married Each Other: The Unique Love Story Of A Popular Comedy Star<\/span><\/div>\n<div id=\"coral-wrap\" class=\"jsx-9278cad478d6a6dc \">\n<div class=\"jsx-9278cad478d6a6dc coral-cont\">\n<div class=\"jsx-9278cad478d6a6dc coltoptxt\">Disclaimer: Comments reflect users\u2019 views, not News18\u2019s.
