There was a time, not too long ago, when I Googled “Actress Sujatha” and could only find a 150 by 150px blurry photo of her. If you Googled her today, you’d find the public life of a woman that I called my aunt for 27 years of my life, but apparently never knew.
This post is mostly for my own benefit, but it is also for yours. This was a real-life woman who loved her children, her husband, and cooking - in that order. Second to my mother (filial loyalty dies hard), she was the epitome of a ‘lady’ in my eyes - always graceful, always soft-spoken, but never a pushover. I didn’t know her as well as I wish I had, but I do miss her.
But this is my favorite - they do a wonderful job explaining her acting.
