When Saroja Devi called MGR ‘anbu daivam'; revealed why she opposed remarriage post-husband's early demise: 'I could manage my life without a male companion'
The demise of veteran actress B. Saroja Devi has left an indelible void in South Indian cinema. She was known for her on-screen chemistry with M.G. Ramachandran (MGR), and the actress won hearts in Kollywood through several acclaimed films. Saroja Devi's Films with MGR Saroja Devi and MGR collaborated on classic films such as Nadodi Mannan (1958), Paasam (1962), Deiva Thai (1964), Enga Veettu Pillai (1965), and Anbe Vaa (1966). Legendary South Indian actor B. Saroja Devi dies at 87 Though their professional association came to an abrupt halt in 1967 due to a misunderstanding, the mutual admiration between the two stars remained intact. In an old interview with Deccan Chronicle in 2016, Saroja referred to MGR as her 'anbu daivam' (lovable god). 'When he introduced me in Nadodi Mannan, I was so naïve. He took care of me so well and used to give advice and tips while acting. After that, we acted together in several films. Without MGR, there's no Saroja Devi!' she shared. Memories of MGR's Home She also fondly recalled her time at MGR's residence, Ramavaram Thottam. 'I have gone to his house several times and had food there. The house used to always be cool with its red oxide flooring. There wouldn't be a separate dining table, and instead, there would be a long bench. I consider it a temple and believe that MGR still lives there,' she stated. Why She Did Not Remarry Saroja also opened up about her decision not to remarry after losing her husband, Shri Harsha, in 1986. The couple tied the knot in 1967, and she did not marry again after his demise. 'After my husband's demise at a young age, a lot of people told me to remarry. I said 'no', and I couldn't think of anyone else in his place. I was confident that I could manage my life without a male companion,' she said. Saroja Devi breathed her last on Monday (July 14) at the age of 87, at her home in Malleswaram, Bengaluru.

Family Man Season 3: Manoj Bajpayee shares release date, gives another big update
Agencies Manoj Bajpayee confirmed that The Family Man Season 3 is set to premiere in late October or early November, following the completion of shooting. After months of speculation, The Family Man fans finally have a reason to rejoice. In a report published by Rediff, Manoj Bajpayee confirmed Subhash K Jha that Season 3 of the hit spy-thriller series will premiere either in the last week of October or the first week of November. With shooting now officially wrapped, the actor revealed, 'The shooting is complete,' putting an end to the long wait and uncertainty. Reflecting on the unexpected popularity of the series, Bajpayee shared, 'When we started, we had no idea The Family Man would go this far.' Despite an illustrious filmography and recent success in OTT content like Killer Soup, the actor admits that nothing has quite matched the resonance and mass appeal of this Amazon Prime Video series. 'Is it the most popular work that I've done? I would say, most definitely yes,' he stated. While The Family Man Season 2 saw Samantha Ruth Prabhu take audiences by storm, Season 3 promises an equally powerful performance from a new addition. 'If the highlight of Season 2 was Samantha, in Season 3, it will be Jaideep Ahlawat,' Bajpayee teased. Known for his intense and immersive performances, Ahlawat's inclusion signals a fresh narrative shift that could once again elevate the show's gripping storyline. Reuniting with the dynamic directorial duo Raj & DK, Bajpayee expressed his continued excitement and commitment to the project. 'I love working with actors who are as dedicated to the task of getting it right as much as I am,' he noted, highlighting the synergy and seriousness that have shaped the series' success. As the release window nears, expectations for The Family Man Season 3 are higher than ever. With Jaideep Ahlawat stepping in and the ever-reliable Manoj Bajpayee leading the charge, this chapter might just be the franchise's most thrilling yet.
