It
goes
without
saying
that
Parthiban
is
a
highly
popular
director
and
actor
in
Tamil
cinema
who
recently
received
a
huge
attention
after
his
role
in
the
magnum
opus,
Ponniyin
Selvan.
He
not
only
delivered
splined
acting
in
films
but
also
directed
a
good
number
of
acclaimed
movies
such
as
the
most
recent
one,
Iravin
Nizhal.
His
former
wife,
Seetha,
a
leading
actress
in
Tamil,
Malayalam,
and
Telugu
cinema,
made
her
film
debut
in
1985
with
the
Tamil
movie
Aan
Paavam.
She
acted
in
films
until
1991
and
then
took
a
hiatus,
returning
to
acting
in
2002.
Parthiban
was
previously
married
to
Sita,
but
they
separated
due
to
differences
of
opinion.
Later,
Seetha
got
married
to
one
Satish,
whom
she
later
divorced
due
to
personal
reasons.
In
an
interesting
turn
of
events,
Seetha
reportedly
expressed
her
interest
to
reunite
with
Parthiban.
Apparently,
she
openly
asked
Parthiban
if
it
was
possible
for
them
to
reconsider
their
relationship.
However,
Parthiban
denied
the
same.
While
we
do
not
know
if
this
really
happened,
this
piece
of
information
is
making
the
rounds
on
social
media.
On
the
acting
front,
parthiban's
recent
movie,
Ponniyin
Selvan
2

setting
the
box
office
on

Directed
by
ace
filmmaker
Mani
Ratnam,
Parthiban
played
the
role
of
an
important
character,
Chinna
Pazhuvetayarar.

film
also
had
an
ensemble
of
other
lead
actors
including
the
likes
of
Aishwarya
Rai
Bachchan,
Trisha
Krishnan,
Jayam
Ravi,
Chiyaan
Vikram,
and
Karthi
to
name
a
few.
The
film
was
released
on
April
28,
and
has
been
receiving
positive
reviews
from
fans
and
critics
alike.
