Rajinikanth's heroine, who acted in over 450 films, but never became lead actress, was forcibly married at 14, later died due to..., she was...
The 80s era of Indian cinema witnessed various talented actors and actresses. From Rekha, Jaya Prada to Amrita Singh and more, there were plenty of actresses who left a lasting impact on the audience's hearts and minds with their performances and beauty. One among them was a shining star of South cinema who became a sensation of her time. Her popularity doubled, and every director and producer wanted to cast her in their films. However, fate had something else in store for her. There was a time when this actress in discussion charged more than Rekha, but then life had other plans for her. She shared screen space with big names such as Rajinikanth, Kamal Haasan, and more. Let us tell you, the actress in discussion is none other than late star Silk Smitha aka Vadlapati Vijayalakshmi. Silk Smitha's debut was in the 1979 Malayalam film Inaye Thedi, where she was given the name Smitha by director Antony Eastman. However, her major breakthrough came a year later when she featured in the Tamil film Vandichakkaram, where she played the character 'Silk'. Rajinikanth's Heroine Charged Rs… Per Film When actors like Rajinikanth, Kamal Haasan, Sathyaraj were considered the highest-paid actors, Silk was also giving tough competition to them by charging a remuneration of Rs 1 lakh in the 1990s. Forced Marriage at the Age of 14 Initially in her life, Silk and her family had to face major financial crunch. As a result, she had to drop out of school in the fourth standard. Not only this, she was also forced into child marriage at the age of just 14. She faced huge turmoils in her life. After the wedding, her husband and his family started torturing her. After two years into the wedding, Silk Smitha took a bold call and moved out of her husband's home. Mysterious Death of Silk Smitha When Smitha was hardly 35, she was found hanging in her hotel room. A few months after her death, it was reported that Smitha may have died by suicide due to excess alcohol found in her body. The police also recovered a suicide note from her, which could not be deciphered.

"Listening is most powerful parenting tool": Kajol gets candid before 'Maa' release
By Divya Malhotra New Delhi [India], June 25 (ANI): As she gears up for the release of her mythological horror debut 'Maa', actress Kajol opens up about a different kind of fear--one that every mother knows too well. In a conversation with ANI, she shared her perspective on motherhood, the delicate balance between protection and independence, and the deeply personal experiences that resonate with her latest role. When asked how she balances protecting her children and allowing them to face their own fears, Kajol reflected with the grounded wisdom of experience: 'My children are much older now. I have taught them a lot of skills. So now I will have to trust my upbringing. Look, I have taught you for so long, now it's time for you to learn your lesson and to practise it.' It's a philosophy of parenting that echoes the essence of 'Maa'--a film about a mother fighting ancient evils to protect her daughter. But in real life, Kajol believes parenting teenagers is as much about listening as it is about guiding. 'Sometimes just listening to them makes them also see your point of view and makes you also see their point of view. So, I guess listening is the most powerful parenting tool,' she said. Speaking about the most vulnerable period of motherhood, Kajol offered a moving reflection. 'The first day that the child is born in this world is the first day that the mother is born in the world as well.' Describing those initial few months as the toughest, Kajol revealed the immense pressure mothers face to prove their worth, both to themselves and to the world. 'There's a pressure on a mother that... no one can question me whether I am a good mother or not. You have to do superhuman things like not sleeping for six months and still have a happy face,' Kajol said. In a way, that relentless strength mirrors her upcoming role in 'Maa', where Kajol plays a mother confronting supernatural forces rooted in mythology, grief, and legacy. Directed by Vishal Furia and produced by Ajay Devgn and Jio Studios, 'Maa' is a unique entry in Indian cinema. The film marks Kajol's first foray into the horror genre and brings with it a compelling narrative: a mother-daughter road trip gone horribly wrong after they encounter a cursed tree haunted by ancient spirits. With a stellar cast featuring Ronit Roy, Indraneil Sengupta, Yaaneea Bharadwaj, and Surjyasikha Das, Maa blends mythology and horror to deliver a gripping emotional journey. The film is slated to release in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, and Bengali on June 27, 2025. (ANI)
