Filmmaker Lokesh Kanagaraj recently held a press conference to talk about his films. However, the meeting made headlines for the wrong reasons, as a journalist questioned him about his personal life. During the event, Lokesh, who has been married to his wife Aishwarya for a decade, was asked if he wanted a “second family”. However, the director remained calm during the event and was praised by fans on social media.
At the press meet, a journalist wanted to ask Lokesh one last question for the session. When the filmmaker agreed to his request, the journalist asked: “Lokesh, there is talk on social media about your love story with an actress. Are you going to be a family?” Lokesh patiently replied, “No, sir. I already have a family.” However, the journalist did not stop there and added: “Second family?” Lokesh then decided to ignore his follow-up and ended the conference.

Several fans flooded social media, with praise for Lokesh Kanagaraj and criticize media personnel for their behavior. “Stupid question from journalist: We are hearing that you are in love with an actress and will soon have a second family. Is it true? #LokeshKanagaraj: No. I already have a family. Not sure why Loki took it lightly. Mentalities like this should be slapped,” one person wrote. “These stingy journalists should be kicked out immediately,” another commented. “This is not funny,” read a third comment. “He handled it so easily,” noted one fan.
