Andhra Pradesh's political arena was thrown into a frenzy on Monday morning when Tourism Minister AK Roja was caught on camera celebrating the arrest of former Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu. While the rest of the country was shocked, Andhra Pradesh residents were not surprised. They had come to expect Roja's sharp tongue and fiery temper. Roja's political career began in 1998 with Naidu's Telugu Desam Party, but the two had a falling out. She quit TDP and joined the YSR Congress Party when it was established. Since then, she has been a thorn in Chandrababu Naidu's side, a vocal critic who has never missed an opportunity to take a swipe at him. Her celebration of his arrest was seen as the latest salvo in their ongoing feud. She once criticized actor Rajnikanth for praising Chandrababu Naidu.In the 2014 general elections, she won as an MLA from the Nagari assembly constituency. Even as a first-time legislator, during one of the heated debates in the assembly, she lifted up her foot, as if suggesting that she'd slap one of the MLAs present in the assembly with her footwear. She was not even a year old in the assembly at that time. Before venturing into the world of politics, she was the heartthrob of South Indian cinema aficionados, gracing screens in numerous South Indian languages. She reigned as the undisputed No.1 Tamil actress from 1991 to 2002, occasionally venturing into Kannada and Malayalam-language films. She won three Nandi Awards and one Tamil Nadu State Film Award. Remarkably, despite facing the industry's bias against her dusky complexion, Roja defied the odds by starring in over 100 films.Roja made her debut in 'Prema Thapassu,'. She was introduced to the Tamil film industry by director R. K. Selvamani with 'Chembaruthi,' alongside actor Prashanth, a hit that opened doors to her subsequent success in 'Suriyan' alongside Sarath Kumar. Roja married Tamil film director R. K. Selvamani on August 21, 2002. The couple has a daughter and a son.
