Sudha off stage is a very congenial person, a loving mother, a doting wife, a wonderful friend and a concerned citizen. She is a person who strongly trusts the power of positive thinking and believes that this attitude has helped her scale every peak that she has encountered. She also is an avid reader with Sidney Sheldon and Danielle Steel among her favourite authors.

Inspite of her extremely busy schedule, she makes a conscious effort to spend time with her family. She loves to play a game of cards or catch a good movie with her husband, Ragunathan and her two children Kaushik and Malavika.

She loves to travel and see places and her concerts around the world give her an opportunity to do this. She feels specially nostalgic about Venice and always imagines having a concert somewhere on the gondolas.

She has a lot of ‘chinna china aasais’ which include collecting idols of Ganeshas ranging from the size of a finger - nail to the size of a new born baby. The count is now at 600 and continues to grow. Dolls from different parts of the world add beauty to her shelves at home.

Samudhaaya Foundation was founded by Sudha as part of her efforts towards the betterment of the society.
