Many friends tried to interefere in this matter and save the marriage, but it was too late as the relationship was going downhill. Selvaraghavan was not keen that Sonia continues her career as actress and made his displeasure clear when she started doing a television serial in Kalaignar Tv . For the last one month, they have been living separately.
Selva and Sonia got officially married in style on December 15, 2006 at Rajah Muthiah Chettiyar Hall in Egmore, Chennai in the presence of 'Super Star' Rajinikanth and attended by the who's who of Kollywood.
Selva first met Sonia in early 2002, when he signed her up for his path breaking Kadhal Konden, opposite his brother Dhanush.
