Pugazhendhi, professionally known as Pugazh, is a multifaceted Indian personality who has made a significant impact in the entertainment industry. Born on November 14, 1990, in Cuddalore, he began his educational journey at St. Joseph's High School and later attended Sri Padaleswarar Secondary School in Thirupapuliyur.
Pugazh's personal life is marked by his marriage to Benzi Riya in 2022. However, his professional journey is what has garnered the most attention. He initially rose to fame after participating in the popular cooking reality show, Cooku with Comali, on Star Vijay.
Before his big break, Pugazh faced setbacks, including being rejected from Kalakka Povathu Yaaru, a show that he had auditioned for with the help of Udhaya Raj, a renowned personality in the Tamil film industry. Undeterred, he worked as a computer serviceman at Vijay TV and later starred in the film Sirippu Da alongside Dheena.
Pugazh's persistence eventually paid off when he was selected to participate in Cooku with Comali. His outstanding performance on the show earned him widespread recognition and led to numerous offers to act in Tamil films. He made his acting debut in the film Sixer and has since appeared in several movies, including Cocktail, Sabhaapathy, and Etharkkum Thunindhavan.
