Saroja Devi, who entered the world of color in 1955 with the film 'Mahakavi Kalidasa', never looked back. For the next three decades, she ruled the kannada, Tamil, Telugu, and hindi cinema with her amazing performances. Another sad news to bid farewell to the golden age of the kannada film industry. Saroja Devi, who won the hearts of crores of people with her speaking eyes on the silver screen, breathed her last today at her residence in Bengaluru. She was 87 years old. It feels like the end of an era, as if a legend of kannada cinema has disappeared. Saroja Devi's death is not just the departure of an actress, it is as if an important part of kannada culture has left us.
Saroja Devi, who entered the world of color with the film 'Mahakavi Kalidasa' in 1955, never looked back. For the next three decades, she ruled the kannada, Tamil, Telugu, and hindi cinema with her amazing performances. But here is another sad fact: Sarojadevi last acted with Appu in Kannada. The actor acted in the film Sarvabhouma, which was released in 2019. Today, both of them are no longer with us.
The secret to Saroja Devi's success was not only her beauty. Her ability to bring characters to life was unique. Her acting, which did not shed tears in sad scenes, but expressed pain with just a look in her eyes, earned her the title 'Abhinaya Sharade'. Saroja Devi, who received many awards including Padma bhushan and Padma Shri, has left us physically, but she will live forever in the hearts of her fans through her hundreds of films and immortal roles. A heartfelt farewell to the goddess of acting from all of us.
