Ilaiyaraaja is the king of the music world. He has captivated everyone with his music, from children to adults, so much so that there can be no one who doesn’t like his songs.
Like Ilaiyaraaja , his successors are also emerging as composers. Ilaiyaraaja ‘s elder son Karthik Raja has given various super hit songs. Likewise, his younger daughter Bhavadharani is also composing music for films. Another son of Ilaiyaraaja , Yuvan Shankar Raja has created a fan base of his own through his songs. Ilaiyaraaja ‘s wife Jeeva passed away in 2011.
Before marrying Jeeva, Ilaiyaraaja was in love with Gayathri Veena. Now let’s see about that love story. Ilaiyaraaja had been in love with Gayathri since 1970. Appreciating Gayathri’s excellence in playing the veena and promoting her talent, former Chief Minister Jayalalithaa also gave her an important role in the music department.
Ilaiyaraaja , who was deeply in love, went to the girl and told his love openly but Gayatri refused Ilaiyaraaja ‘s love and said no. Later Gayatri married a man from her community and settled abroad. After his one-sided love that ended in failure, he found his path to success in cinema. Ilaiyaraaja , who started composing music for cinema after that love failure, today connects various romantic couples with his music. An unfulfilled love is also hidden in the life of Ilaiyaraaja , who has given such touching love songs.
