Veteran actress Sujatha is No More!!!

I was so happy when i first saw her in the film shooting of VILAN (Telugu Version). Telugu Hero Rajasekhar is the hero and Sujatha played a care taker role of a Missionary where they take care of mentally challenged children. I heard she is very punctual and she is very honest to her profession. She is liked by many people in the film industry of her principles. It is sad to know that she passed away yesterday. God takes away only good people first. Thats why there is a saying in Sanskrit " Papi Chirayu". That means sinful people will have a longer life and will not reach in time.

I felt it is very important for me to share about her on my blog. So i am writing this small post on her. LONG LIVE SUJATHA!!! LONG LIVE SUJATHA!!!

Popular south Indian actress and yesteryear heroine Sujatha who is known for her stellar performances in women-centric roles passed away on Wednesday at her Neelangarai residence in Chennai. The 58-year-old actress was ailing from some disease and was taking treatment for the last few months according to close sources. The tall actress made her debut in tinsel town with a Hindi film titled Do Kaliyaan.
She also tried her luck in Malayalam with a film titled Ernakulam Junction written by actor Govindhan Kutti in vain. But her sensational debut in Tamil in 1974 with K. Balachandar’s Aval Oru Thodar Kadhai took her to dizzy heights. Yet another heroine-oriented flick Annakili in 1976 which also marked the debut of maestro Ilayaraja was a runaway musical hit.

Later she did films like Avargal, Vidhi, Lalitha, Amaidhi Padai, Andhaman Kadhali Uzhaipalli, Baba and so many other memorable roles. In the mid-1970’s, Sujatha was the sought after heroine and she has acted with Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan who were just the beginners in the industry. She has also done many Telugu films including Gorintaku, Pelli, Sneham Kosam and a few Kannada and Hindi films. In later stages she donned the mother character of top heroes like Rajinikanth’s mom in Baba, Ajith Kumar’s mother in Varalaaru, Villain and Attagasam.

Her last film in Tamil is said to be Vaathiyar where she played Arjun’s mother. Ramanarayanan, director and president of Tamil Film Producers Association, says, “Tamil film industry has lost a great actress. It is an irreparable and irreplaceable loss for the film industry. She is a great human being also. She has acted in my film Suvappu Nila. She used to be very punctual on the sets and a down to earth person.”
