All of a sudden, chef-turned-actor Madhampatty Rangaraj has become the hot topic on social media, with many struggling to wrap their heads around the slew of developments concerning his life that appeared online in the gap of just a few hours. Celebrity stylist Joy Crizildaa announced that she and Rangaraj had tied the knot. Sharing a photo of him applying kumkum on her forehead at a temple, she wrote, “Mr & Mrs Rangaraj”.
A few hours later, Joy revealed that she was six months pregnant. Sharing another photo of the two in wedding attire, she wrote, “Baby loading 2025. We are pregnant. 6th month of pregnancy.” In the picture, she was seen flaunting her baby bump as they smiled ear to ear. Rangaraj was earlier married to his first wife, Shruthi, an advocate from Coimbatore.
Shruthi’s Instagram bio (as of July 28) said, “Madhampatty Rangaraj’s wife”. She had also shared a photo of them, along with their two sons, a few months back and captioned it, “My World! My Tribe My Pride!! #my3babies❤️ (sic).”
Since she has yet to issue an official statement regarding any of the latest developments, the actual status of their legal separation, if at all they have moved down that path, is unknown. Nonetheless, considering that Shruthi’s social media bio still mentions “Madhampatty Rangaraj’s wife” and the fact that she shared a family photo just three months back, hinting that all’s well between them, while Joy has revealed that she’s six months pregnant now, social media users have started expressing their disappointment with the chef-turned-actor.
