This 90s star was forced to beg for a living, her life was ruined after marriage, now she is..., her name is...
The personal life of some actors who shine in films is not as great as it appears on screen. There have been many such celebrities whose real life was like hell. Many actors are stars in the industry, but in their personal lives, either they are suffering from something, or they have suffered for their entire lives. This actress, who is considered a known face from the 90s, lost all his shine, especially after getting married. Telugu Actress Vasuki
Here we are talking about actress Vasuki aka Pakeeza, who once made a name for herself in Telugu cinema, is currently facing financial difficulties. Vasuki, who won the hearts of the audience by acting in many successful films in the 1990s, is now living in poverty. Pakeeza's real name is Vasukii. She hails from Karaikudi in Sivagangai district of Tamil Nadu and has made a name for herself in the Telugu film industry by acting in many popular films.
She became famous for her role as Pakeeza in Mohan Babu's film 'Assembly Rowdy'. After that, she worked in many hit films like 'Rowdy Gari Pellam', 'Mama Garu', 'Rowdy Inspector', 'Chittemma Mogudu', 'Brahma', 'Pedarayudu', 'Rowdy MLA', 'Amma Resign', 'Seetharatnam Gari Abbayya' and 'Annamayya'. Vasuki And Her Troubled Personal Life
While she was busy in the film industry, she joined the AIADMK party on the call of the then Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Jayalalithaa. Since then, she has been away from films. She worked as the official spokesperson of AIADMK and fell in love with a man named Rajkumar and married him. However, she faced harassment as her in-laws did not want her to get married. Furthermore, Vasuki expressed her grief that her husband was addicted to alcohol and wasted all her wealth and gold. Vasuki's Endless Hurdles
Later, the situation worsened when her husband committed suicide. She went to her mother, who had already lost her father. She said that she had spent all her money on her mother's treatment as she was suffering from cancer. Vasuki said that as long as Jayalalithaa was alive, she did not face any problems, but after her death, the situation has completely changed. He said that now it has become difficult to live and sometimes she is even ready to beg.
Since no one in Tamil Nadu is paying attention to this, Vasuki hopes to meet Andhra Pradesh CM Chandrababu Naidu and Deputy CM Pawan Kalyan to express their support. If the government provides pension facility, she will get some financial appreciation. She also said that if needed, she will also campaign for them again.

Vishwanath Reddy redefining Telugu cinema
Karimnagar: Hailing from the heart of Karimnagar, Vishwanath Reddy has emerged as a visionary force in Telugu cinema, blending artistic ingenuity with technical mastery. His recent honour, the coveted Gaddar award for Best Cinematography cements his place among the industry's elite and reflects a larger shift in Telugu cinema, where behind-the-lens brilliance is finally taking centrestage. Reddy's journey from a childhood passion for photography to mastering the art of cinematic storytelling reflects his dedication, talent, and perseverance. His love for photography was sparked by the encouragement of his father, who recognised and nurtured his son's talent. This passion, initially a cherished hobby, soon became the cornerstone of his life, driving him to pursue photography as a career. From capturing still moments in Karimnagar, Vishwanath's curiosity and determination led him to explore the dynamic world of cinematography. Without formal training, he taught himself the craft, immersing himself in years of hands-on experimentation and skill-building. His professional start came through wedding photography in Hyderabad, where he honed his ability to capture fleeting emotions with precision. Speaking to The Hans India, Vishwanath said he aspires to become India's finest cinematographer, transforming his childhood passion for photography into a legacy of breathtaking cinematic visuals. Vishwanath's brilliance shines in his work on 'Gaami,' a film that took over seven years to complete. Collaborating with director Vidyadhar Kagita, he tackled the challenge of creating a film-stock-like texture on a limited budget. Through innovative techniques-like manipulating light with steel plates, he crafted a visual style that deepened the film's narrative, earning widespread acclaim for its immersive quality. For 'Gaami,' released in 2024, Vishwanath leveraged Blackmagic Pocket 4K and 6K cameras, capitalising on their dynamic range to produce stunning visuals optimised for post-production. His integration of over 750 VFX shots in Dolby Vision showcases his mastery of modern filmmaking tools, delivering vivid colours and striking contrasts that captivate audiences. His work has garnered prestigious honours, including the Gaddar Award for Best Cinematography, the Film Companion Gold Award, and the Cinematography Magazine Award for Best Cinematography. These accolades affirm his status as a trailblazer in Telugu cinema. As Vishwanath continues to shape Telugu cinema with upcoming projects like 'Premante' and '8 Vasanthalu,' his story resonates deeply in Karimnagar. He proves that talent and determination can transform dreams into extraordinary realities. His early projects, including 'Manu' (2018) and 'Vara' (2017), showcased his growing prowess, but it was 'Gaami' that catapulted him into the limelight. Vishwanath's ability to blend creativity with technical skill has made him a standout figure in Telugu cinema, culminating in his well-deserved Gaddar sward. His latest project, 'Premante,' is poised to make a significant impact in Asian cinemas. Directed by Navneet Sriram, the film features actors Priyadarshi and Anandhi in lead roles.

Dulquer Salmaan on why his father Mammootty pulls him up
Dulquer Salmaan discusses the humorous contrast between his work style and his father Mammootty's, where his father playfully chides him for taking on lengthy projects. He also shares how his wife, Amal Sufiya, remains unfazed by his celebrity, viewing him simply as her husband with an ordinary job. This keeps him grounded despite his stardom. Dulquer Salmaan may be one of the most admired names in Indian cinema today, straddling Malayalam, Tamil, Telugu, and Hindi industries with ease. From romantic dramas like OK Kanmani and Sita Ramam to edgy thrillers like Kurup and Lucky Bhaskar, the actor has consistently proved his versatility. And while his professional life might be brimming with big-ticket projects, it turns out his biggest critics — and his most grounded relationships — are at home. In a interview he gave in 2023, Dulquer opened up about how his legendary father, actor Mammootty , still struggles to understand his son's work choices and pace. 'Dad is funny,' Dulquer laughed, adding, 'He still does about five films a year, back to back. And here I am, doing these long, drawn-out projects that take anywhere between eight to ten months. He just can't wrap his head around why a film should take this long.' In fact, Mammootty's reactions are so typically fatherly that they're almost comedic. 'He's told me, 'If you're going to do one film a year, don't bother coming home,'' Dulquer shared with a grin. The friendly father-son banter, however, comes from a place of love and mutual respect, even if their approaches to work differ vastly. While Mammootty continues to be one of the busiest actors in Malayalam cinema. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 2025 Top Trending Local Enterprise Accounting Software [Click Here] Accounting ERP Click Here Undo . Interestingly, it's not just his father who keeps Dulquer grounded. His wife, Amal Sufiya, seems largely unimpressed by the trappings of stardom too. Dulquer revealed that even today, Amal hasn't fully processed the fact that she's married to a movie star. 'For her, I'm just a guy who goes to work and comes back,' Dulquer said with a smile. 'In fact, in the first two-three years of our marriage, if someone came up and asked me for a picture, she'd turn to me and ask, 'Why do they want a picture with you?' and I'd have to remind her that I'm an actor. ' The actor finds this disconnection rather endearing. 'She's so detached sometimes. For her, she knows what I'm like at home — unfiltered, lazy, and unglamorous. People only see the groomed version of me.'
