The New Indian Express Thrissur
|July 15, 2025
Veteran actor Saroja Devi passed away at her residence in Malleswaram, Bengaluru, on Monday. She was 87.
She has worked in over 200 Tamil, Kannada, Telugu and Hindi films. Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, in his condolence message posted on X, said her departure is a great loss to Indian cinema.
As actor Khushbu Sundar puts it, with the passing away of legendary actor B Saroja Devi, an era of golden cinema comes to an end.
The actress known for her doe-eyed beauty and endearing screen presence made her debut when she was only 17 years old, as a co-star of Honnappa Bhagavathar, one of the pioneers of Kannada cinema in Mahakavi Kalidasa (1955).
