She died due to age-related ailments at her residence in Malleswaram, Bengaluru. Saroja Devi got her first break at just 17 years old with the Kannada film Mahakavi Kalidasa (1955) – a film which won her a National Award. Introduced to Tamil cinema in 1957 by BR Panthulu, she went on to rule the industry.

I called her Sundaramoorthi: Bharathi Vishnuvardhan I grew up watching B Saroja Devi and was always in awe of her on-screen brilliance.

I remember being instantly struck by her beautiful face. By the time we finished the film, I got to witness firsthand the consummate artiste that she was. We went on to star in many more films after that. By then, we had also become close family friends. My bond with her continued, and to date, we would often meet at each other's homes, social events or connect over the phone. Two months ago, I suddenly felt that I must visit Sarojamma and spend time with her. So my daughter Keerthi and I went to her home. She had intense pain in her hand and preferred spending time in her comfort space by then. We spoke for a long time and indulged in our usual banter. I would fondly call her Sundaramoorthi because Saroja Devi's face was so…ethereal and beautiful. She was made for the screen. I'm glad she gave us her precious time before moving to the next realm.
