Acknowledging that we are growing apart, we believe this is the best decision for each other. Your understanding and support means a lot during this difficult time." 

GV Prakash Kumar and playback singer Saindhavi, who were classmates, reportedly tied the knot in 2013 after a decade-long romance. The son of G Venkatesh and playback singer AR Reihana, who is the sister of Oscar-winning composer AR Rahman, Prakash started his career when he was just six years old. He lent his voice to a song composed by his uncle for the 1993 film Thiruda Thiruda. Prakash also worked as a child artist with Rahman on several projects thereafter.

His breakthrough came with the song Kadhal Yaanai, composed by Harris Jayaraj, for S Shankar's blockbuster Anniyan (2005). This film also marked the Tamil debut of Saindhavi as a playback singer, who lent her voice to the song Andangaka Kondakari.
