She is currently the chief minister of Tamil Nadu. But when she was a star, she was a top heroine of her time and she was very busy in Telugu, Tamil and Malayalam.
It is said that she worked like a robot during that time and would always adjust her timings between shootings.
It is said that she would work three shifts in a day and would never give her producers any reason to complain.
No wonder that she acted opposite top heroes like NTR, ANR in Telugu and with the likes of MGR and Sivaji Ganesan in Tamil. Apparently, she was also not fussy about remuneration and apparently there were many instances when she was not paid her dues.
Also, she would never insist on special food or air fares. It is said that she would also travel in general compartments if need be.
