The post quickly caught the attention of fans on social media, with many praising the couple’s supportive bond and celebrating Samson’s outstanding performance during the tournament.
In the photo, Samson appeared in his Team India jersey, while Charulatha wore a black polka-dot dress, both smiling proudly during the celebrations.
Who is Charulatha Remesh?
Charulatha Remesh was reportedly born on October 19, 1995, in Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala.
She completed her schooling at Arya Central School and later pursued a Bachelor of Science in Chemistry from Mar Ivanios College. She also studied at the Loyola College of Social Sciences, where she completed postgraduate studies in Human Resources.

College friendship that turned into love
Sanju Samson and Charulatha first met during their college days at Mar Ivanios College in Thiruvananthapuram.
Their relationship reportedly began after Samson sent Charulatha a Facebook friend request, and their online conversations gradually blossomed into a relationship.
