Who is Renu Sudhi? 

Renu Sudhi is a YouTuber and internet sensation. She was married to renowned comedian and mimicry artiste Kollam Sudhi and was his second wife. It was after his tragic demise in June 2023 that Renu entered the public domain, and her popularity on social media grew. She not only became famous owing to the reels she created, but the social media personality also appeared in music albums and photoshoots.

Since Renu didn't accept the traditional expectations placed on widows by a patriarchal society, it sparked major backlash. Trolls criticised her, especially for the glamorous photoshoots she engaged in, and also accused her of tarnishing Sudhi's legacy. Not only this, but the YouTuber has also faced cyberattacks and comments that include body-shaming remarks.

Kollam Sudhi was Renu's second husband

After Kollam's first wife left him and their 1-year-old son, the comedian took on the responsibilities as a single parent. Years later, he fell in love with Renu and they got married. As per the reports, after Kollam's death, his first wife allegedly died by suicide.
