Their childhood, the struggles they faced in their personal life and how they overcame all that to become icons can be a matter of awe. The beautiful Savitri made a lasting impression in south Indian cinema. However, in her short life, she provided enough fodder for her biographers who, with their sources, have etched a graph that rose, reached the zenith and plummeted irrevocably. So dramatic have been their versions of her life that her fans and cinema lovers still argue about the veracity of content. When Ravuri Bharadwajs Paakudu Raallu came out, many said it was about life of Silk Smitha but some spoke with conviction that it revolved around Savitri. Pallavi, whose books seventh reprint is coming out, had contacted the late Gnanpeeth awardee. When she asked Ravuri whose story it was about, his reply was that the woman in his book represents all heroines in the Telugu film industry and not just Savitri. He apparently picked each character of every popular heroine and attributed it to the protagonist. Close quarters Journalist Pasupuleti Rama Rao visited Savitri every week and wrote her story in a serial, until she slipped into coma. Rama Rao recollects, If Madhubala and Meena Kumari were known for their beauty in Bollywood, it was Savitri here. Her drinking habit ruined her and all those who surrounded her came with vested interest. From a bungalow in T Nagar (in then Madras) to a tiny house in Anna Nagar, her fall was steep and I hung around till her cremation. She loved jewellery and would deck herself up at home, on days when there was no shoot. In her hey days, there was a goldsmith to design jewellery at her place. When I enquired if she had eaten anything and had taken her insulin shot, she said there was no maid and no one to cook. I asked her why she did not ask some assistant to get it, she said he told her there wasnt any breakfast left. Fall from grace Jamuna, her co-star, is upset that she wasnt even contacted during the making of the biopic. Most of the people she worked with are gone but I am alive and I have not been contacted; we had experiences. Pallavi had written a thick book but I dont agree with what she wrote; her work is a piece of fiction. On the other hand, Kampella Ravi Chandran had given an accurate psychological analysis of Savitri and why she fell from grace.
