Her daughter Aruna married Ramesh Subramanian on 6 May 2013. Nalini has stated that one reason for her divorce was her religious sentiments. An astrologer had told her that Ramarajan′s career will decline because of their children, so to not send her children to boarding school, she decided it was best to divorce as to not have the children in the same house as her husband. They still remain close as a family unit.
