Noted actress Ramya Krishnan was on Zee5's Jayammu Nischayammu Raa chat show with Jagapathi Babu and talked about her friend and co-star Soundarya, who had died in a chopper crash.
Jagapathi Babu talked about Soundarya, a "common friend" they both liked, during their conversation. At first, Ramya smiled, but when a trailer from their 1999 hit movie 'Padayappa' came on, her face changed. She tried not to cry, but she couldn't control her tears.
Jagapathi Babu ried to console Ramya when he saw that she was sad.
"We played that clip because we need to remember things like this." Her name, Soundarya, means "beautiful heart," and she had one.
"She Never Let Fame Change Her"
Ramya was really upset as she talked about her late co-star and tried not to cry. "When we were making Ammoru (1995), I first met Soundarya. We worked on a lot of movies together after that, like Padayappa. I observed a cute, innocent girl turn into a great performer. But what really moved me was how she never allowed celebrities to get to her. Ramya said that she was always kind and humble.
It was clear that Ramya was affected as old pictures and videos of the two friends played on television. She claimed that Soundarya was "a real friend and a beautiful person."
Soundarya: A Star That Left Too Soon
Soundarya was one of the most prominent actresses in the 1990s. People knew her for her great acting and how graceful she looked on screen. She worked with some of the most prominent Indian movie stars, such as Rajinikanth, Kamal Haasan, Chiranjeevi, and Nagarjuna.
She received her big break in the 1994 movie 'Hello Brother', in which she starred opposite Nagarjuna and Ramya Krishnan. After that, she won the Filmfare Award for Best Actress for her role in Ammoru (1995).
She could speak and write in a lot of languages, such as Telugu, Kannada, Tamil, Malayalam, and Hindi. People liked her because she was talented and charming.
Soundarya died on April 17, 2004, when she and her brother Amarnath were campaigning for the BJP when their plane crashed. At the time, she was 31 years old and pregnant.
A Friendship That Endured
Ramya Krishnan's heartfelt tribute to Jayammu Nischayammu Raa was a touching reminder of Soundarya's lasting legacy. She was a famous actress and a close friend who will always be remembered by those who knew her.
