Pandari Bai emerges most popular onscreen mother in Sandalwood

On Mother's Day,

Bangalore Times

put together a

poll

that asked its viewers who their favourite onscreen

mother

in

Kannada

was. The options included four popular

actresses

who have played mother roles across different time periods in the history of Kannada

cinema

- Pandari Bai, Leelavathi, Vaishali Kasaravalli and Sudha Belawadi. The poll kept changing as far as the favourites went over the 24 hours that it was live. Eventually, Pandari Bai emerges the favourite, followed by Sudha Belawadi, Leelavathi and Vaishali Kasaravalli respectively. We love these actresses, who have all been seen in some amazing roles in landmark films. Here's celebrating the spirit of motherhood that cinema has always put in the spotlight.
