Born on June 10, 1999, in Puthupalaiyam, Kuzhitharai, Karur District, Tamil Nadu, Santhuru P grew up surrounded by the love and care of his mother, Saraswathi P, a homemaker, and his late father, Pandiyan P. Alongside his two elder sisters, Sivasankari and Divya, and a younger sister named Anjalimani, Santhuru discovered his passion for kabaddi at the age of 12. As a Left Corner Defender, Santhuru quickly honed his skills, specializing in the Running Dash, a move he executes with precision on the kabaddi field. Under the guidance of his coach, Dinesh, who also serves in the Tamil Nadu Police, Santhuru has refined his game at the Kelakuttapatti ground, aiming to excel in local tournaments. Despite his commitments as an employee at Sky Metal Roofings, Santhuru remains dedicated to his sporting pursuits. His academic journey has seen him complete his B.Com degree, with aspirations to pursue an MBA, which he embarked upon in his first year. Santhuru draws inspiration from Ajith Kumar, known for his craftiness. Admiring Ajith's style of play, Santhuru aims to emulate his idol's success and hopes to participate in more prestigious tournaments to earn recognition and acclaim in the world of kabaddi. Outside of kabaddi, Santhuru enjoys playing cricket, showcasing his versatility in sports. With dreams of competing in larger tournaments and making a name for himself, Santhuru remains driven and focused on achieving success both on and off the kabaddi mat.
