Actresses and actors lead a different life, even if it appears to be one of glitz and glamour on the surface. However, when one gets to know a person from inside, you'll come to know the real struggle and pain the person has gone through. The actress we are talking about has earned immense name, fame, and money in her professional life, but in her personal life, she suffered from breast cancer very early in her life. She was 35 when she fought with the disease. She managed her health and work side by side. The actress became a star and even battled the disease bravely. This actress worked with names like Rajinikanth, Kamal Haasan, and Amitabh Bachchan. After giving her best in the industry, she moved to politics. She is none other than South's famed actress Gautami Tadimalla. Gautami made her debut at the age of 16 with the film Dhaayamayadu (1987). After this, she made her debut as an adult actress in the film Gandhinagar Rendava Veethi. Her first Tamil film was Rajinikanth's Guru Sishyan.

Gautami's acting caught everyone's attention when she featured in Papanasam with Kamal Haasan. Did you know that Gautami Tadimalla worked in three shifts a day? Yes, she did over 120 movies in 8 years and was praised for her dedication. However, while her professional life was soaring high, her personal life saw its share of troubles. In 1998, Gautami tied the knot with businessman Sandeep Bhatia. The couple was blessed with a daughter. However, just within a year, Gautami and Sandeep decided to part ways. In 2005, Gautami again made headlines as her affair with Kamal Haasan garnered public attention. The duo were said to be in a relationship from 2005 to 2016.
