Assets of Rs. 94.57 crores with liabilities of Rs. 57.81 crores appear substantial for someone whose declared profession is Agriculture/Public Service. The net asset value (approximately Rs. 36.76 crores) is significantly high for these professions. However, as the spouse of the late actor-politician Vijayakanth who had a successful film career and political presence, these assets may be attributed to family wealth. No previous election data available for comparison to assess growth patterns.
