When news of Rekha and Kamal's alleged relationship reached Vani, it reportedly left her shocked. It is said that she once caught Kamal Haasan with Rekha in a Chennai hotel. Years later, a journalist writing for Rediff recalled the incident, claiming that Vani Ganapathy allegedly caught Kamal and Rekha together in a Chennai hotel. The journalist wrote, 'In late 1979, I was working at the Hotel Chola Sheraton in Chennai. One night, when I reported for work, I found the place in a tizzy. As the girls at reception told the story, Kamal Haasan and Rekha Ganesan were in the latter's room in the hotel when Kamal's then-wife, Vani Ganapathy, arrived and gave her husband a public dressing-down,' the journalist claimed.

It was reported that Sarika became pregnant with Shruti Haasan before her marriage to Kamal, but their marriage also didn't work as they filed for divorce after a year.
