THE DISASTER HAD HAPPENED

It is hard to believe that 4 years have gone without Soundarya on silver screen. It appears as if she is still amidst us while watching her films. Soundarya who began her career a bit reluctantly in 1992 with a Kannada film, soon went on to become a much loved actress.

She has acted in Kannada, Tamil and Telugu films. It was however in Tollywood that she came truly into her own. Many people felt that Soundarya was a Telugu girl. Soundarya was a talented actress and was also known for her commitment to her profession and her discipline.

Soundarya acted with some of the top stars like Chiranjeevi, Nagarjuna, Balakrishna, Venkatesh, Rajnikanth, Kamal Haasan etc. Kondaveeti Simham, Sri Manjunatha, Pavithra Bandham, Ammoru were some of the films that showcased her versatility and acting prowess.

Soundarya was just 32 when she died in a plane crash while coming to AP from Bangalore to campaign for the BJP. Her brother was also killed in the plane crash. Soundarya was married for about six months when fate snatched her life away from us.

To mark her fourth death anniversary, some cultural organizations in Bangalore are planning special functions today to pay tributes to her. The TV channels are also airing her films as a mark of tribute to this late actress.
