Savithri, an all-time favourite heroine for any artiste in Tollywood and for that matter any Telugu people. She was not so tall, but had a curvaceous structure. There was nothing extraordinary as far as her curvilinear is concerned, but with her expressive eyes she used to mesmerise the audience. Whatever role she portrays, Savitri used to fit into it so naturally. The legend started her career as an artiste with an insignificant role in 1953 in Agni Pariksha. But with her immortal performance as Parvathi in Devadas, Savitri proved her talent and after that she never looked back. The one and only heroine acted with extraordinary performence and with out exposing.

A reservoir of talents and a natural beauty, SAVITRI is an epitome of acting talents. She is remembered along with facial expression, and the volumes her eyes spoke. S.V. Rangarao, for (expression of eyes and the feelings on her face) She has set an example for the heroines of later era. It is surprising to learn that such a great artist was rejected by the industry in the beginning. But, it’s true!
