Sangeetha V, also simply Sangeetha, is a well-known name in the South Indian film industry (particularly Tamil, Telugu, and Malayalam cinema). She was born on October 21, 1978, in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, to a family with varied affinities to the music and arts; her father, Arvind, was a famous film producer, and her grandfather, K.R. Balan, was one of the first producers in the Tamil film industry.

 

Since she was raised with a world of cultural expressions, Sangeetha was drawn to the arts from an early age. Sangeetha started dancing Bharatanatyam as a young girl, received instruction from talented teachers, and performed on acclaimed platforms. Of course, her formal dance instruction, natural gracefulness and expressiveness were all advantages for her acting career.

 

Acting Career and Rise to Fame

Sangeetha made her acting debut in the late 1990s and quickly became a recognizable face across South Indian cinema. Initially cast in supporting and glamorous roles, she gradually transitioned to more substantial characters in family dramas and socially themed films.

One of her breakthrough performances came in the 2003 Tamil film Pithamagan, where she starred alongside Vikram and Suriya. Her portrayal of a strong, emotionally intense character earned her both critical and popular appreciation. She continued to shine in films like Uyir, Dhanam, Khadgam (Telugu), and Masooda, proving her versatility as an actress.

Apart from movies, she became a beloved television personality. She appeared as a judge on various reality dance shows like Jodi Number One, where her vibrant and encouraging personality made her a favorite among family audiences.

Age, Height, and Physical Appearance

As of 2025, Sangeetha V is 46 years old. Despite the passing years, she maintains a graceful presence and continues to captivate her fans with her elegance and charm. She stands approximately 5 feet 6 inches (167 cm) tall. Known for her expressive eyes and traditional South Indian features, Sangeetha has always been admired for embracing her natural beauty and age with confidence.

Her commitment to fitness and classical dance has helped her maintain a healthy lifestyle. She often speaks about the importance of mental well-being, balance in life, and staying active as part of her routine.

Marriage and Husband

Sangeetha is married to popular Tamil playback singer Krish (Vivek Krishnamoorthy). The couple tied the knot on February 1, 2009, in a traditional ceremony attended by close friends and industry colleagues. Krish, known for his melodious voice and songs in films like Vaaranam Aayiram, has been a constant support in her life, both personally and professionally.

Together, they share a strong bond, often seen attending events and family functions hand in hand. Their marriage is considered one of the more enduring and stable relationships in the South Indian entertainment world.

Family and Personal Life

Sangeetha and Krish have one daughter, born in 2012, about whom she has been largely secretive in order to provide a more private or secure upbringing for her daughter away from any media. Family is a big part of Sangeetha's life, and they regularly spend their time together over festivals and vacations together with Sangeetha's parents, in-laws, or immediate relatives. 

Sangeetha has done less work in feature films over the last few years, which has allowed her to provide balance to her life. She has continued to stay in contact with her fans through social media and by being on television. Although she does not do it very often, she sometimes appears on interviews or talk shows, where she is appreciated by guests and her audience for her candidness and being grounded. 

Current Life and Outlook in 2025

In 2025, Sangeetha remains vested in balancing acting, family, and work, and being selective about any given projects. Rumor has it she is developing a new web series which relates to drama and culture, that better reflects her priorities and values. One of the things viewers and fans have come to appreciate about Sangeetha is that she continues to achieve notoriety in a role that passes gender stereotypes. While she should be viewed primarily as an actress, she is one of the more important role models for a more modern woman (and others) who believes in dignity, tradition, and being better than others. Sangeetha's story of success from being a classical dancer, to a film star, to a wife, to a daughter, to a mother, and to a public figure will continue to be an inspiration for other women and through generations.
