Saroja Devi Laid to Rest with Full State Honours
The New Indian Express Mysuru
|July 16, 2025
MULTILINGUAL actress B Saroja Devi was laid to rest with state honours in her native village of Dashavara in Channapatna taluk, Mandya district, on Tuesday.
Fondly called Abhinaya Saraswati (in Kannada) and Kannadathu Paingili (in Tamil), the superstar starred in over 200 films in a career spanning over seven decades. Saroja Devi passed away due to age-related ailments at her Malleswaram residence in Bengaluru on Monday morning.
The 87-year-old actress' mortal remains were moved from her residence in Malleswaram to Dashavara on a decorated hearse van. Thousands of her fans thronged both sides of the roads to bid adieu to their favourite actress. The procession stopped at key junctions for a few minutes for the public to pay their last respects.
A three-gun salute was given to the actress before the preparation for the last rites began.
