MK Kanimozhi is M Karunanidhi's youngest child, the one that shares a love of poetry with him.
Kanimozhi is a DMK Rajya Sabha MP. She was elected to the Rajya Sabha in 2007, and serves on various Parliamentary committees. She lists her profession as politician, poet and journalist.
Kanimozhi, now 43, spent her growing years without seeing much of her father as he divided time between two homes and wives. Kanimozhi's mother, Rajathiammal, was Karunanidhi's third wife. His second, Dayaluammal, is the mother of sons MK Alagiri and MK Stalin. The DMK MP has a Masters in Economics, was a journalist employed with several publications and also ran a website before she joined active politics. She is also a published poet and is seen as Karunanidhi's literary heir while her two half-brothers joust for top honours as his political heir.
Within the family, the two brothers are said to be wary of the little sister, for whom their father has a decided soft spot.
Kanimozhi's political career has been in a shadow ever since the 2G scam broke. A Raja, who is now in jail for his alleged involvement in the scam, was known for his close relationship with Kanimozhi. She also owns stake in a Chennai TV channel that was allegedly the recipient of a Rs. 214-crore kickback from the massive spectrum scam.
Kanimozhi has been married twice. G Aravindan is her second husband and they have a son.
