Suma Kanakala even shared about how she handled the rumours surrounding her married life Though being a popular and most loved television anchor, Suma Kanakala is not spared from the gossip of social media. There have been rumours about her personal life frequently that all is not well between Suma and her husband Rajeev Kanakala, and that the couple are living separately and only putting up a united face to the public for the sake of their children. During the promotions for her film Jayamma Panchayathi, Suma decided to close the lid on the rumours once and for all. “Initially, whenever these rumours cropped up, I tried to give an explanation or occasionally, would put out a picture of my family and our time together. Things would cool down for a while but then they would start all over again. So, I stopped bothering. Rajeev and I are happily married for 23 years now,” said the star anchor. Stating that the rumours do not affect her children Roshan and Manaswini, Suma said “I’m extremely proud of my children. Sometimes, I tried to talk to them about these rumours to reassure them but they would laugh it away. When I asked them if they worry about what other children would say in school, they would respond saying that they knew what to answer them”.
