The
lead ladies of cinema, whom we adore
and die for, thanks to their charming
onscreen charisma, do not really have
a wonderful off-screen life. Ironically,
the celluloid queens end up spending
their life either alone or hopping
from one relationship to another hoping
to get a better life – which
incongruously is out of their reach
always.
Strangely,
this may sound like a curse, but this is the bitter
truth. There is a huge list of heroines from yesteryears
whose personal life would support our claim. Ambika,
Nalini, Gauthami, Suganya, Swarnamalya, Anju,
Banupriya, and Aishwarya are to name a few.
Joining the bandwagon, many actors have filed
divorce seeking relief from their marital bond.
Siddharth and Vanitha Vijayakumar are to name
a few. Rumors are floating around that Prashanth’s
marriage is on the rocks too.
Case
study – Srividhya
The personal life of Srividhya was not anywhere
closer to the cheerful and smiling mother
in good spirits that she portrayed onscreen.
After her marital relationship turned sour
with George, she retreated herself for a
while and is even believed to have lived
in temples. Rubbing salt to the already
sore wound was her husband’s claim
for her property. Although Srividhya won
the case quite later, the mental agony that
she endured during that period ruined her
career and ultimately her peace of mind.
Her life in deathbed was even traumatic.
As the world knows, she died of a cancer
attack without many to take care of her
when she was counting her days in the deathbed.
On
the contrary
Whilst the mainstream heroines find it tough to
lead a blissful marital life, the bombshells who
rocked the scene with their sexy item numbers
showcase a healthy attitude towards marriage.
They seem to be living happily ever after with
their husbands – who mostly are from the
same field.
Jeyamalini, who got married to a cop leads a marriage
life any other actor would die for. Sultry Jyothilakshmi
and her daughter Jyothimeena are equally happy.
Disco Shanthi, who married the Telugu actor Srihari
has disappeared from the showbiz, which suggests
that her marital life is peaceful. It is even
reported that she shares a wonderful rapport with
her mother in law. Her kid sister Lalithakumari
tied the knot with Prakashraj.
Sex bomb of yesteryear Anuradha married
dance master Satish – who met with
an accident years ago and left with a coma
and bedridden. However, Anuradha’s
marital life sustained and she nurses Satish
hoping that he will be back to good health
some day.
What goes wrong?
It raises one’s eyebrows to witness
the marriage of lead heroines in shambles
as opposed to the bare all ladies of cinema
who lead a peaceful marital life. Does that
mean the heroines want to stay lead ladies
in real life as well? If that is the reason,
our young chicks – who now rock the
scene – need to take a lesson or two
before entering into a nuptial agreement.
On
the other hand, suicides of young girls in cinema
– out of love failures are alarmingly on
the rise. Recently, Nadigar Sangam has set up
a council headed by Sripriya to reach out celebrities
who are in trouble with their marriages. Only
time will tell as to how far this will work out.
