Laxman is married to Uma and the couple have three children: Swetha, Shruthi and Rahul.[6]
Laxman sparked a controversy over Sania Mirza being made the brand ambassador of Telangana by calling her Pakistan’s "daughter-in-law" after her marriage to cricketer Shoaib Malik and unfit to be a representative of an Indian state. This sparked outrage and drew a fierce response from Sania who said she will remain an Indian until the "end of her life".[7] [8]
