RIP Jamuna: Senior actress Jamuna impressed by playing the heroine opposite many stars including late NTR and Akkineni Nageswara Rao. If you look at the roles of the heroines, you can see a bit of gentleness in the movies of that time. But it is not an exaggeration to say that Jamuna is the first name that comes to the minds of directors and producers when they want to discover heroines with a bit of an aggressive mentality on the silver screen. Jamuna has also earned a special recognition with her acting as a true Telugu actress. However, due to this role of Satyabhama, she became a person in controversies. If we go into the details of what actually happened..
‘Sri Krishna Tulabharam’ is one of the films in which senior NTR acted as Krishna. Jamuna played the role of Satyabhama in it. In one of the scenes, Krishna has to be kicked by Satyabhama. Although she thought a bit before acting in this role, she acted after the advice of NTR and the director-producers. But NTR’s fans did not agree. Will Jamuna do that to their favorite hero? They were angry. However, later the controversy was settled when she said that she had to act like that as part of the film.
Senior actress Jamuna (86), who acted in various roles in Hindi films including Dakshinadi, passed away at her residence in Hyderabad on Friday due to ill health. Jamuna’s death is a tragedy in Tollywood. She has acted opposite many superstars of South including senior NTR and ANR. Her death is a huge loss for Tollywood, who acted in many diverse roles. She has acted in nearly 200 films.
