Bhagyalakshmi actress Sushma K. Rao marks 25 years in the entertainment industry; introduces her husband and son for the first time

Popular Kannada television actress Sushma K. Rao, widely known for portraying Bhagya in the hit serial Bhagyalakshmi, recently offered fans a rare glimpse into her personal life by introducing her husband and son at a public event.

The emotional moment unfolded at a prestigious awards ceremony where Sushma was honoured for completing 25 successful years in the entertainment industry. What made the occasion special was the surprise appearance of her family on stage, a moment that left both the actress and the audience visibly touched.




Sushma, who has largely kept her personal life away from public attention, revealed that she is married for the second time, marking the first occasion she spoke openly about this chapter of her life. Known for maintaining a clear boundary between her professional journey and private world, the actress’s candid moment struck a chord with fans.



Adding warmth and humour to the event was an interaction involving her young son. When asked who scolds him more at home, the child candidly replied that his mother does, drawing laughter from the audience. Sushma responded playfully, questioning when she had ever raised a hand at him, highlighting the affectionate bond they share.

Earlier, Sushma was married to filmmaker Preetham Gubbi, but the two later parted ways. She chose to remain silent about the separation and her subsequent marriage, preferring to let her work speak for itself.

The actress’s unexpected family reveal has since sparked positive reactions, with fans praising her grace, resilience and the dignified way she has handled her personal journey alongside a long and successful career in television.

The awards ceremony is expected to be telecast soon, giving viewers a closer look at the memorable moments that celebrated not just Sushma’s professional milestones, but also her personal happiness.
