Despite the success and recognition next to his name, filmmaker Sukumar actually comes across as a humble person in real life. However, talking about the Pushpa 2 director would be incomplete without the mention of his wife Thabeetha, who stands as a fundamental pillar of strength behind him.
In this article, we will know a little more about Pushpa 2: The Rule director Sukumar’s wife Thabitha.
Who is Thabeetha Bandareddy?
Born as Thabeetha Hamsini, she is the wife of renowned film producer Sukumar Bandareddy. She is often seen attending film events with her husband, and their chemistry speaks volumes of the bond they have built over the years.
The couple married in 2004 and have a son and daughter.
Sukumar and Thabitha’s love story made in a theater
Well, it seems like the world of cinema has been an integral part of Sukumar and Thabeetha since day one. The pair first met each other at the prestigious Sudarshan Theater in Hyderabad, where their film Arya was being screened at that time.
Thabeetha, a young girl and a fan, had approached Sukumar for an autograph in honor of the work he had done. However, at first glance it seemed that the filmmaker was infatuated with her and he gave her his phone number instead of his autograph.
Sukumar was hurt when Thabeetha raised questions about his work as a director
Being part of a world completely away from cinema, Thabitha was initially unaware of many aspects of what happens behind the camera. As a result, he once asked Sukumar what he did as a director as he felt that all the work was done only by technicians.
Recalling being hurt by his question, Sukumar had said in an old interview, “When he came to know that I was a director, his first question to me was that since all the work was done by technicians, what did the director do? Did? This made me very sad and I told about the work of a director and how difficult his work is.
Thabitha’s parents were hesitant about her match with Sukumar
The creative mind behind so many love stories on screen, Sukumar’s real life also took a similar path when he met Thabeetha. The couple loved each other for four years before they decided to get married.
However, their transition to married life was uncertain as Thabitha’s parents were hesitant about having a groom who belonged to the film world. However, they did not back down and tied the knot in the presence of Sukumar’s family. No one from Thabitha’s family except her sister attended their wedding.
Later, the couple went back to their parents to seek blessings for their marriage. Only after this he accepted both of them. The couple are now parents to son Sukrant and daughter Sukriti.
Thabitha is a harsh critic of her husband Sukumar’s work.
Over the years, Thabitha and Sukumar have been together through thick and thin, remaining strong as a couple. In one of his interviews, the filmmaker revealed how his wife is his biggest critic, a person who never likes his work.
She told that she always complains about not spending enough time with herself and her family. However, Sukumar also said that in reality, his wife secretly boasts about his successful films to her friends.
