While many fans flooded the comments with congratulations, the announcement also sparked widespread debate, primarily because of lingering questions surrounding Rangaraj's first marriage.
Madhampatty Rangaraj's First Wife
Shruthi's Instagram account, still public, displays numerous photos with Rangaraj and their two children. Her profile bio continues to identify her as 'Madhampatty Rangaraj's wife,' fueling speculation that their divorce may not be finalised. Despite this, Shruthi has remained silent and has not made any official statement regarding the recent events.
Social Media Reacts
Several users questioned whether Rangaraj is legally divorced and criticized the lack of transparency.
One user wrote, 'Is he legally divorced ??? Would celebrities still call him for their home marriage catering???'
