Who Are Rambha’s Kids? Meet Sasha, Lavanya, and Shivin Pathmanathan

Rambha, born Vijayalakshmi Yadi on June 5, 1976, in Vijayawada, Andhra Pradesh, is a former Indian film actress who rose to fame in the 1990s and early 2000s.

Renowned for her stunning screen presence, graceful dance moves, and glamorous roles, she was a beloved figure across multiple Indian film industries—starring in over 100 films in Tamil, Telugu, Hindi, Malayalam, Kannada, and Bengali cinema.

With iconic performances in Judwaa (1997) alongside Salman Khan, Arunachalam (1997) with Rajinikanth, and the comedy classic Ullathai Allitha (1996), Rambha became a household name in Indian entertainment.

Of Telugu ethnicity and raised in a middle-class Hindu family, Rambha was supported in her acting career by her parents—father Venkateshwara Rao Yeedi and mother Usha Rani. While little is publicly known about her siblings, her early family life laid the foundation for a successful journey in the film industry.

On April 8, 2010, Rambha married Indrakumar Pathmanathan, a Sri Lankan Tamil entrepreneur based in Canada and the founder of Magickwoods, a kitchen and bath manufacturing company.

The wedding took place at Karnataka Kalyana Mandapam in Tirumala. In 2016, the couple faced public speculation about marital troubles, including allegations regarding Indrakumar’s previous marriage.

Rambha addressed the rumors, pursuing legal measures through a Chennai court for custody of her children and restitution of conjugal rights. However, the couple reconciled and remained together, celebrating their 10th wedding anniversary in 2020.

Rambha and Indrakumar have three children:

• Lavanya Pathmanathan, born January 13, 2011
• Sasha Pathmanathan, born March 30, 2015
• Shivin Pathmanathan, born September 23, 2018

The family currently resides in Toronto, Canada. Rambha, who stepped away from acting after her marriage, occasionally shares glimpses of her family life through social media, giving fans a peek into her role as a devoted mother.

Lavanya Pathmanathan

Born on January 13, 2011, in Toronto, Lavanya Pathmanathan is the eldest child of former Indian actress Rambha and her husband, Indrakumar Pathmanathan.

Rambha was 34 at the time of Lavanya’s birth. As the firstborn, Lavanya often takes center stage in the family’s cherished moments, frequently appearing in her mother’s warm and affectionate Instagram posts.

Lavanya is described as a bright and creative young girl who regularly appears in family photoshoots and candid moments shared online. One such highlight came during the Vijayadasami festival, when she was pictured performing traditional rituals in a pink saree, radiating elegance and grace beyond her years.

Her poise and charm have often drawn comparisons to her mother, especially in a set of viral photos shared by Rambha in July 2022, where fans praised Lavanya’s resemblance to the actress and admired her natural beauty.

In 2020, during Rambha and Indrakumar’s 10th wedding anniversary celebration, a touching moment showcased Lavanya’s affectionate nature. She and her younger sister Sasha created a handmade card as a surprise gift for their parents—a gesture Rambha proudly shared with her followers.

Sasha Pathmanathan

Born on March 30, 2015, Sasha Pathmanathan is the second daughter of actress Rambha and her husband, Indrakumar Pathmanathan.

Rambha was 38 at the time of her birth. Occasionally referred to in some sources as “Padmanathan Sambha,” Sasha is a vibrant presence in the family, frequently featured in Rambha’s social media posts, where her expressive personality and charm often steal the spotlight.

Fans have often remarked on Sasha’s striking resemblance to her mother, with many speculating that she may one day follow in Rambha’s footsteps in the entertainment world. Her creativity was displayed during her parents’ 10th wedding anniversary in 2020, when she and her older sister Lavanya, made a heartfelt handmade card—a sweet moment Rambha shared with pride online.

In November 2022, Sasha was at the center of a distressing moment when she was injured in a car accident in Ontario, Canada. A vehicle collided with Rambha’s car as she was picking up her children from school.

While Rambha and her other children sustained only minor injuries, Sasha required hospitalization. Rambha took to Instagram to share the news, asking fans for prayers and support. In a follow-up live session, she expressed her gratitude for the outpouring of concern and confirmed that Sasha had safely returned home. The incident underscored both Rambha’s close relationship with her fans and the strength of their family bond.

Shivin Pathmanathan

Born on September 23, 2018, at Mount Sinai Hospital in Toronto, Shivin Pathmanathan is the youngest child and only son of actress Rambha and her husband, Indrakumar Pathmanathan.

Rambha was 42 at the time of his birth. The joyful news was first shared by Indrakumar on Instagram, where he wrote, “We are blessed with a baby boy. Mother and baby are fine,” celebrating the newest addition to their growing family.

Leading up to Shivin’s arrival, Rambha openly embraced her third pregnancy, delighting fans with baby bump photos and heartfelt captions like, “Happy 9th month pic… Wanna carry our bundle of joy in our arms.” Her excitement and warmth resonated deeply with her followers, making Shivin’s birth a shared moment of celebration.

As the baby of the family, Shivin has often been the center of attention in Rambha’s social media posts. His growth has been lovingly documented, from being cradled in his mother’s arms to posing sweetly with his sisters, Lavanya and Sasha. In a set of 2022 viral photoshoot images, Shivin charmed netizens with his adorable expressions, earning waves of affection from fans.

Shivin was also involved in the 2022 car accident in Ontario, along with his mother and siblings. Fortunately, he sustained only minor injuries. Rambha updated her followers about the incident, thanking them for their support and confirming her youngest child’s safe recovery.

Family moments, such as the 2020 lockdown anniversary celebration—where little Shivin joined his sisters in baking a cake for their parents—highlight his role in their tight-knit, affectionate household. His appearances in recent posts, including 2024 puja celebrations, show him happily participating in cultural traditions and growing up in a nurturing, love-filled environment in Toronto.
