There are so many actors and actresses in Indian cinema who, though they started their journey in the acting field, later moved to politics or got married to politicians. From Kangana Ranaut to Parineeti Chopra, there are many such celebs. Today, we will discuss an actress who once shared the screen with actors like Rishi Kapoor, Rajinikanth, and many more. One of her most iconic roles was that of Chando. Remember Chando From Rishi Kapoor's Naseeb Apna Apna? If you have seen Rishi Kapoor's Naseeb Apna Apna, then you might remember this iconic actress who played the role of Chando—the character of an average-looking girl who undergoes a transformation and leaves her husband stunned. That actress was none other than Radhika Sarathkumar. Who is Radhika Sarathkumar? Radhika Sarathkumar was born to renowned actor and politician M.R. Radha, who shot veteran actor M.G.

In the following years, she featured in various films across Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Hindi, and Malayalam languages. Radhika Sarathkumar Married Three Times Radhika Sarathkumar tied the knot three times. In 1985, she married actor Pratap Pothen, but the marriage did not last long, and they separated within a year.

Kingdom box office collection day 3: Vijay Deverakonda film holds steady on first Saturday, nears Liger's domestic haul
Kingdom box office collection day 3: Telugu star Vijay Deverakonda is garnering praise for his performance in his recent release, Kingdom. The spy-action drama was released in theatres on July 31 after several delays. The film opened to a decent start, and despite seeing a drop on the second day, it held well on the first Saturday. Vijay Deverakonda and Bhagyashri Borse's still from Kingdom. Kingdom's box office collection According to Sacnilk, Vijay's film earned ₹18 crore on day one of its release. However, it witnessed a decline of 58.33% on day 2 and earned only ₹7.5 crore. On its third day, it earned ₹6.8 crore, taking the total collection of the film to ₹32.3 crore. The film is now inching closer to beating the domestic collection of Vijay's film Liger ( ₹41 crore), which marked his grand debut in Bollywood alongside Ananya Panday. The film had an overall 41.54% Telugu occupancy on Saturday, with 31.25% in morning shows, 46.31% in afternoon shows, and 47.06% in evening shows. The film is competing with Pawan Kalyan's Hari Hara Veera Mallu at the box office. About Kingdom Kingdom centres around Suri (played by Vijay Deverakonda), a modest, loyal police officer who turns spy to take on a covert mission in Sri Lanka. The mission involves him locating and rescuing his estranged brother Siva (played by Satyadev), who is now the head of a smuggling syndicate. The film also stars Bhagyashri Borse as the female lead. The film ended on a cliffhanger to create the base for the sequel, which the film's producer, Nag Vamsi, announced at a post-release press meet. While Vijay's performance has been appreciated by the audience, several viewers were disappointed by the second half of the screenplay. Helmed by Gowtam Tinnanuri, the film collected ₹39 crore worldwide at the box office on opening day, making it Vijay's personal best so far.
