Urvashi is such a natural talent, that she was able to play a mother in her first film ‘Mundhanai Mudichu’. And the most interesting part about it is, Urvashi was a teenager and still in school, while she acted as a mother of a toddler in the 1983 film. It is almost impossible to come to terms that a teenager has played the intense role of a mother in the film. And her acting got refined as a wine with age.

They say mother’s love is the purest and unconditional and no one could be in her shoes and Srividya has portrayed exactly the same onscreen. In real life, the late Srividya was married but wasn’t a mother. Despite of not being a mother, she was able to play a mom, and express the motherly affection on-screen, as if it’s real. Be it the mother in ‘Adaminte Variyellu’, ‘Daivathinte Vikrithikal’ or ‘Ente Sooryaputhrikku,’ Srividya acted with sheer excellence.
