Personal life
In 1999, Chakravarthy married Manjula. In June 2013, he attempted to enter into a second marriage with Kannada actress Shruti; however, the union was annulled by a court later that year on the grounds that he had not legally dissolved his first marriage.[5] Following Manjula’s petition, the court ruled that the second marriage was invalid. Shruti also acknowledged the irregularity of the procedure. The two subsequently separated in 2014. As of the latest available information, Chakravarthy is not married.[6]
