Jayasudha
Sujatha Nidudavolu (born December 1, 1958), known professionally as Jayasudha, is an Indian actress and politician who works predominantly in Telugu and Tamil cinema. She began her film career as a child actor in *Pandanti Kapuram* (1972) before transitioning to leading roles with *Arangetram* (1973), *Nomu* (1974), and the romantic drama *Apoorva Raagangal* (1975). Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, she established herself in mainstream commercial cinema, starring in features such as *Soggadu* (1975), the action film *Adavi Ramudu* (1977), *Idi Katha Kaadu* (1979), and the musical romantic drama *Premabhishekam* (1981). For her leading performances, she received seven Filmfare Awards South and eight Nandi Awards, including wins for *Jyothi* (1976), *Aame Katha* (1977), and *Meghasandesam* (1982). Beginning in the late 1990s, Jayasudha shifted into supporting and character roles, appearing in the comedy *Money* (1993), the drama *Anthimanthaarai* (1996), and the Hindi drama *Sooryavansham* (1999). Over the subsequent decades, she played matriarchal figures across Telugu and Tamil productions, including the romantic drama *Alaipayuthey* (2000), *Amma Nanna O Tamila Ammayi* (2003), *Bommarillu* (2006), *Kotha Bangaru Lokam* (2008), *Seethamma Vakitlo Sirimalle Chettu* (2013), and *Shatamanam Bhavati* (2017).
