Some Lesser Known Facts About Vijaya Chamundeswari
Her mother, Savitri was known as the āMeenakumariā of South Indian Film Industry.
She was named after a production house called āVijaya Chamundeswari,ā which gave her mother many memorable roles.
Vijaya was just 16 when she got married and a couple of years prior to her marriage, there were certain differences between her parents, and they got separated.
Due to troubles in Vijayaās motherās personal life, Savitri (her mother) got addicted to alcohol, which affected her greatly. One day, she slipped into a coma for 19 months and eventually, died onĀ 26 December 1981, at the age of 46.
She likes animals very much and once owned a snake, that died in 2015.Ā
In an interview, Vijaya revealed that she never used to watch any of her motherās film; because her mother wept in most of them, and it disturbed her. However, after her motherās death, she started to watch her films.
In May 2018, her motherās biopic āMahanatiā was released. Keerthy Suresh played the role of Savitri in the film.
Following the release of the film, her sister Dr Kamala Selvaraj asserted that the film was fictionalised and was not honestly presented. Kamala alleged that her fatherās image was wrongly presented in the film. In addition to that, Kamala stated that the film was made wholly on the basis of Vijayaāsās statement and filmmakers should have taken her fatherās friends and acquaintances in the industry into account before portraying his role. In response to her comments, Vijaya said that she respected her views because they belonged to the same family.
