In 2018, Ramya appeared on the Tamil reality television show, Bigg Boss, hosted by Kamal Haasan. She stated that she was keen to experience the opportunity to understand what a "luxurious jail" may be like. She was evicted early in the process[9][10][11] After her eviction, Kamal Haasan suggested her "boring" character may have worked against her.[12][13]
Personal life
Ramya's paternal grandparents were comedian N. S. Krishnan and actress T. A. Mathuram. Her maternal grandfather was K. R. Ramaswamy, another yesteryear actor from the Tamil film industry. Ramya is married to Arjun, whom she had known from her childhood.
