Sajeevan Sajana on Sivakarthikeyan’s help

In the 2018 floods, Sajana revealed that her home was washed away, and she lost most of her belongings, including trophies and cricket equipment. That’s when Sivakarthikeyan, who was her co-star in the sports drama Kanaa, in which she played herself, reached out to her and offered help.

She told them, “Sivakarthikeyan sir called me and asked me if I needed help. I told him, Anna (brother), my cricket kit is completely gone, I just need new spikes. Within one week I got new spikes. I also had to go for the Challenger Trophy at that time and everyone there would ask how my family was doing and I used to get tense. But everyone was supportive, enquiring and trying to help.”

Kanaa starred Sathyaraj, Aishwarya Rajesh, Sivakarthikeyan, and Darshan in lead roles. The film was also remade in Telugu as Kousalya Krishnamurthy, with Aishwarya and Sivakarthikeyan reprising their roles.
