His father, Sengodan, unfortunately passed away in 2023 due to a heart attack, leaving behind his mother, Arul Mani, who works as a coolie-farmer, managing a farming area. Sakthivel has two elder sisters, Ranjitha and Sathya, both of whom do not play kabaddi. At the age of 14, Sakthivel's interest in kabaddi was piqued by watching his school seniors play the game. Excelling as a Left Cover Defender, Sakthivel's notable skills include the follow and dubki moves. Under the guidance of coach Govindaraj, his college coach, Sakthivel hones his abilities at Pallavan Club. Despite facing personal loss, Sakthivel has represented his university in various games, along with participating in junior and senior state-level tournaments in 2023. His admiration for kabaddi player Pravesh Bhainswal stems from Bhainswal's prowess in defense, particularly his chain tackle technique. Outside of kabaddi, Sakthivel enjoys playing cricket and is pursuing a degree in BCom BPS. His participation in the South Zone University games marks a significant achievement in his career. Looking ahead, Sakthivel aspires to play in the Pro Kabaddi League and represent the police team.
