However, she occasionally steps into the limelight due to her involvement in social causes and her foundation’s work. The ‘VVS Foundation’ reflects her commitment to making a positive impact on society.
G.R. Sailaja’s family and education
G.R. Sailaja hails from Guntur, Andhra Pradesh where she spent her formative years. Her exact age is not known. After completing her graduation, she pursued post-graduation in computer applications. Sailaja not only successfully completed her Master’s in Computer Applications (MCA) but also achieved it with distinction.
Sailaja got married soon after finishing her post-graduation. After marriage, she became a homemaker. Her life took a big turn when she married the star sports celebrity, VVS Laxman. In an interview, Laxman mentioned that Sailaja who was an excellent student and passed her MCA with distinction, could have easily owned and run a successful software company. However, her aspirations changed after marrying him.
Now happily married, VVS and G.R. Sailaja have two children, a son named Sarvajit Laxman and a daughter named Achinthya Laxman.
Sailaja not only set aside her aspirations but also made sacrifices for VVS Laxman, enabling him to focus on his career. This makes him truly proud of his wife.
‘Because of my job, I’m always traveling, and Sailaja, my wife, made her first sacrifice by agreeing to travel with me wherever I went. Despite the perception of a glamorous life, being a cricketer is not stable—you go from Bangalore to Delhi, then Melbourne to Dubai. It’s tough, but Sailaja traveled with me even when our son was born. As our family grew, she took on the second sacrifice of raising our kids as a single parent while I was often away. Sailaja did everything with a smile, ensuring I could focus on my cricket career. I feel fortunate to have a wife like her, and now we’re enjoying a new chapter of life together as a family’ the cricketer said.
