Entertainment Desk, New Delhi. There have been actresses in Indian cinema who have achieved great success. Some milestones have been achieved which are not easy to overcome and such has been the name of veteran actress Sridevi. Sridevi has worked in many languages, from Hindi cinema to South cinema, but did you know that at the age of just 15, Sridevi had an affair with an actor who was almost three times her age.
When 15-year-old Sridevi started an affair with 55-year-old hero
Sridevi started her career from childhood. He started his career by working in southern films. After that, gradually the story reached Hindi films, and then he did what no one had managed to do before. However, before coming to Hindi films, Sridevi dated South superstar Rama Rao.
Yes, when Sridevi was dating N.T. Rama Rao, she was only 15 years old and NTR was 55 years old at that time. That is, Sridevi shot a song with a hero who was about 40 years older.
What movie is this?
The film that Sridevi worked on with NTR was actually the 1979 Telugu blockbuster Vethagadu (Vethagadu full movie). NTR was with Sridevi in this film. However, the most talked about song was the one from the film, in which Sridevi romped with 55-year-old NTR.
The song “Aaku Chatu Pinde Tade” from the film became quite popular and in this song Sridevi and NT Rama Rao were seen romancing. Shot in the rain, the song became a big hit, but many questions were raised regarding the casting of both. The song features romantic chemistry and wet dance scenes.
Surprisingly, only 8-9 year old Sridevi played the role of NTR’s granddaughter in this film. Sridevi played the role of NTR’s granddaughter in the 1972 film Badi Pantulu and just a few years later, she also played the role of his lover.
While this was quite strange to see and hear, it was not particularly discussed at the time, although questions were certainly raised. Despite the controversy surrounding the film, the film became a hit, the songs became hits and after that Sridevi became a major actress in the South and from here her doors opened for Hindi cinema.
