She is the daughter of an industrialist and holds an extremely active presence in social circles, and was even more active prior to her marriage to the actor.
Talking about her familial life, Vandana Srikanth’s marriage to the actor, Srikanth, was a hush-hush affair. This was due to the alleged controversies surrounding her family and her.

Vandana Srikanth’s involvement in fraudulent activities and its impact on her marriage with Srikanth

The actor also appeared before Vadapalani police and signed the register after he refused to accept Vandana, given the conflicting nature of the information of which Vandana’s family was accused of.
Vandana had allegedly filed a complaint against Srikanth, stating that she had married the actor and even provided the wedding pictures. Their formal wedding was called off after the cheating cases aired. Srikanth filed the petition in the family court, seeking divorce from Vandana. However, no formal charges affected Vandana herself and years later it seems like the couple was able to mend their relationship and build a family together. Srikanth was quoted as saying:
“I admit that I married Vandana. However, several cheating cases against her family forced my parents to halt plans for a grand wedding.”
