From College Friendship to Life Partners: The Love Story of Cricketer Sanju Samson and His Wife Charulatha
Sanju Samson, the Kerala-born cricketer, is well-known for his dynamic performances on the cricket field, whether representing India or playing in the Indian Premier League (IPL). However, his personal life, particularly his love story, is equally captivating.
Sanju met his future wife, Charulatha Remesh, during their college days at Mar Ivanios College in Thiruvananthapuram. Their relationship began when Sanju sent her a friend request on Facebook, followed by a simple message that sparked a conversation and quickly turned into a close bond. As their connection deepened, they began spending time together and eventually entered into a five-year relationship.
In 2018, the couple decided to take their relationship to the next level. Despite coming from different religious backgrounds—Sanju is a Christian and Charulatha a Hindu Nair—they never let cultural differences stand in their way. On December 22, 2018, they tied the knot in an intimate ceremony held in Kovalam, Kerala, under the Special Marriage Act. The wedding was a private affair, attended only by close friends and family, far from media glare and public attention. For Sanju and Charulatha, their relationship was always about each other, not external expectations.
Charulatha is an entrepreneur by profession. She completed her schooling at Arya Central School and went on to earn a Bachelor of Science in Chemistry from Mar Ivanios College. Later, she pursued post-graduate studies in Human Resources at Loyola College of Social Sciences. While the specifics of her business remain private, she often accompanies Sanju during his cricket tours, balancing her personal and professional life.
Earlier this year, Charulatha surprised her followers by sharing a remarkable transformation video on social media. Known for her candid online presence, she used the opportunity to promote self-love and body positivity, writing: "Thought twice about this posting video because I never want to give the impression that getting slimmer is a better transition in life. You gain weight, lose weight, get darker, get fairer... Just love yourself, be happy, and enjoy your 2025."
