Savithri was born on December 6th, in the year 1936 in Chirravur, which is a
village in Guntur District, Andhra Pradesh. Nissankara Guraviah and Subhadramma
were her parents. She lost her father when she was just six years old. With her
uncle’s support, she studied till third form (eighth standard) in Kasturi Bai
Memorial School at Vijayawada. She learnt dancing while she was studying and got
loads of appreciations whenever she performed on the stage.
She was bestowed into the film industry at a very young age (at the age of
twelve) as she got an offer in the film ‘Agni Pariksha’. She merely missed
the chance because she looked too young to play the role in that particular
film. Soon after that, she got a key role in the film ‘Samsaram’, which was
produced by the banner ‘Sadhana Chitra’ in 1950 but again bad luck shoved
off the role since she felt very abashed and tensed up to take through with
Akkineni Nageswara Rao as he is a big star. As a result she was replaced by
Pushpalatha but was offered a small role in that movie. When the film was
released, the producers and directors recognized her inborn talent. She caught
chances to act in films like ‘Sankranthi’, ‘Palleturu’ etc. She
performed in a dance flick in the legendary film ‘Pathala Bhairavi’ in 1951.
There was no looking back for Savithri, after she had performed as a second
heroine in the film ‘Pelli Chesi Choodu’ in 1952.
Once when she took a chance to visit Gemini Studios, for the first time she met
Gemini Ganeshan over there. Gemini Ganeshan used to be a well-known hero in the
Tamil industry and was called as ‘Kaadal Mannan’ (King of Love) by the Tamil
audience. Gemini Ganeshan, subsequently, said about Savithri “She would
definitely develop into an outstanding actress in future.” Later his
calculation turned out to be true when she got an offer in the film
‘Devadas’, pairing with Akkineni Nageswara Rao. She incurred a substantial
position for her in the Telugu film industry after acting in the film
‘Devadas’ in the year 1953.
This was the film, which raised Savithri's image as an artiste. Among the films
of Savithri, the most illustrious films were ‘Missamma’, ‘Maya Bazar’,
‘Ardhangi’, ‘Kanya Sulkam’, ‘Devatha’, ‘Naadee Aada Janme’,
etc., where her astonishing performance bewitched the spectators. She acted
about 318 films in Telugu, Tamil and a few films in Hindi like ‘Bahut Din
Huyen’, ‘Ghar Basake Dekho’, ‘Balaram Sri Krishna’, ‘Ganga ki
Leharen’ etc. She almost acted with every top hero of the Telugu and the Tamil
cinema fields. Savithri used to take over the scene regardless of the actor she
was performing with. She was similarly triumphed over the Telugu and Tamil
industries. She was treated as the number one heroine. Because at that time
there used to be nearly 20 Savithri starred movies released in a year. Every
role where Savithri had enacted made her to stand as a persistent symbol. The
audience as well as the critics appreciated her. The women
audience would adore Savithri for her liveliness and captivating performance.
During her career, she focused her mind only on acting. She found no time to
think about anything other than acting. She was very dedicated to her career.
Since she was chubby, she even underwent severe dieting to suit her role while
she was acting for some of her films.
Savithri was not only a distinguished actress but also a refined film director.
She had directed films like ‘Chinnari Papalu’, ‘Chiranjeevi’, ‘Maathru
Devatha’ and ‘Vintha Samsaram’in Telugu and a few films in Tamil. Her
misfortune started with the film ‘Praptam’ (Mooga Manasulu in Telugu) the
Tamil film, which was made under her own production and direction. The film took
nearly five years to be completed and that pushed Savithri into non-recoverable
debts. She would watch all the Hollywood movies and analyze them in an amazing
manner. She loved Sophia Loren and Shirley McLain.
Her association with the Tamil actor Gemini Ganeshan feathered while they were
acting together for a Tamil film ‘Manam Pola Mangalyam’ and it was again a
love story, which directed to a secret marriage in the year 1956. Afterward it
was revealed subsequently when Savithri gave her photo for the Lux soap
advertisement, as it was signed as ‘Savithri Ganesh’ at the backside of the
photograph. Savithri and Gemini were blessed with two children Vijaya
Chamundeswari and Sathish. Savithri used to be very strict, disciplined and
compassionate as a mother. Because of her work pressure she hardly found time to
spend with her kids. Even then she used to capture some time out of her hectic
schedule and spent a good quality of time with her kids. She gave her children
complete liberty while insuring certain restrictions on them. She never raised
hands at her children. She loved her kids immeasurably. Since there was no
availability of televisions in our country at that time, she
arranged a 16mm projector, to show the films that she had acted to her kids.
Even though she discussed about films with her children she never entertained
them to pick for films, as she never wished her children to experience the
pains, which she had faced. Savithri's 100th film ‘Konjum Salangai’
(‘Muripinche Muvvalu’ in Telugu) happened to be paired with Gemini Ganeshan!
Apart from the films and her children, jasmine flowers and drizzling rain were
her favorite whimsies. She used to have a jasmine garden at her home and she
delighted plucking flowers from the bushes and wearing them on her hair. She
used to swamp herself in the rain, which was an enjoyment for her. Before I
forget Savithri was a left-hander. She also had a great enthrallment towards
sports and games like cricket and chess. She never missed a cricket match that
was played in Chennai. Famous West Indies cricketer Gary Sobers was her most
favorite sports person. Even in those days she participated in the star-cricket
with Sivaji Ganeshan.
She even possessed an attractive chess table made of ivory. She was born with a
tremendous sense of humour so as she got a great and perfect proficiency in
mimicking others. She left no person that she had known not imitated. She
enjoyed replicating people e.g. her husband Gemini Ganeshan, Relangi, Saroja
Devi, Sivaji Ganeshan, S.V. Ranga Rao, Kabir Bedi and many others. Basically she
was very strong-minded and unwavering person. No human factor could change her
choices that she had made once furthermore she would never give up things
easily. She would never tell her problems to anyone she led her life according
to her own inherent aptitude. She was very freehearted and freehanded while
extending helping hands to others. Once she went entirely bejeweled with gold
and diamonds to meet the Prime Minister, Sri Lal Bahaddur Shastri and gave away
all the adornment for the Prime Minister’s Relief Fund. Some people exploited
her quality of innocence and generosity.
She was awarded with the title ‘Kalai Mamani’ by the Tamilnadu State
Government, ‘Nati Siromani’ by the Andhra Yuvathi Mandali and with an apt
title as ‘Mahanati’.
Unfortunately marriage was not a good occurrence in Savithri’s life. When her
husband, the person, whom she adored and trusted a lot, ditched her, she was
awfully distressed moreover it was a great blow on her trust towards a person.
The shock directed her to undergo depressed conditions in her later part of
life. It was very painful for her to live alone in a vast house with two
immature children. She lost trust in people and adopted dangerous habits like
alcohol, sleeping pills, and drugs. Slowly the appetite vanished, intoxicants
had overruled her sentiments and sensitivities. Savithri was hospitalized many
times. She suffered a lot during her stay at the hospitals. On the course of her
travel to Mysore for a shooting she broke down, went into coma, and was hurried
back to Chennai where her children admitted her in a hospital.
