Meet Jayasudha, Amitabh Bachchan's onscreen wife from the iconic 'Sooryavansham'- Lesser known facts about the actress
We've all seen Sooryavansham — the iconic film that dominated our TV screens for years, almost becoming a part of our daily lives. Even without naming it, the story of a strict father, a quiet son, and a love that spoke volumes in silence is etched in our memories forever. While Amitabh Bachchan 's towering performance remains unforgettable, how many of us truly know about the woman who played his devoted on-screen wife? Meet Jayasudha — the lesser-known but equally fascinating chapter of this cinematic legend. A superstar in the South, Jayasudha's portrayal in Sooryavansham still resonates with audiences. Yet, her real-life story has often made more headlines than her filmography. From her early days as a teenage debutante to becoming a leading figure in Tamil and Telugu cinema, Jayasudha's journey has been anything but ordinary. Her personal life, however, has been a rollercoaster that the media couldn't stop tracking. Jayasudha's first marriage in 1982 to film producer Vadde Ramesh ended swiftly in divorce. She later found love with Nitin Kapoor, brother of Bollywood star Jitendra, and married him in 1985. The couple built a life together, raising two sons who eventually followed their parents into the film industry. Tragedy struck in 2017 when Nitin Kapoor reportedly died by suicide, after a battle with depression. Left to raise her sons alone, Jayasudha showed remarkable strength in navigating life's harsh turns. Years later, her name once again lit up the gossip columns when reports of a third marriage at the age of 62 surfaced, allegedly to an NRI. But Jayasudha was quick to set the record straight. The man frequently seen with her, she clarified, is a filmmaker keen on producing her biopic — not her husband, as widely speculated. While often compared to contemporaries like Sridevi and Jaya Prada for her grace and pan-South appeal, Jayasudha has always stood apart. Her versatile performances, spanning decades and languages, have cemented her as a true cinema icon — even if her off-screen life has sometimes stolen the spotlight. Behind the Sooryavansham wife lies a woman of resilience, grace, and quiet stardom — a story still unfolding, and one that certainly deserves to be told.

Meet Jeetendra's sister-in-law, who once gave tough competition to Sridevi, Jaya Prada, got married at 62, is now..., name is..., husband is...
We are talking about a film that was telecast almost daily. It is a tale so deeply etched in our memories that even without naming it, you know the bond of a stern father, a silent son, and a love that grew without words. Guess the film? Umm.. any guesses, which is this movie we are talking about? Okay, one last hint — the husband who couldn't read a single word ensured his wife wore the officer's uniform… then built an empire of his own. I'm sure you must have guessed it right! Yes, we are talking about Sooryavansham. We know almost everything about the lead actor, Amitabh Bachchan, but do we know about the lead actress, Jayasudha, who is a popular South actress? Jayasudha's iconic role as Amitabh Bachchan's on-screen wife in 'Sooryavansham' continues to captivate audiences to this day. However, her personal life has often overshadowed her professional achievements, with her three marriages making headlines. Her third marriage at 62 sparked intense discussion and scrutiny, keeping her in the news for reasons beyond her cinematic legacy. Do you know, Jayasudha is also the real-life sister-in-law of iconic actor Jitendra? Jayasudha's first marriage to film producer Vadde Ramesh in 1982 was short-lived, ending in divorce. She then married Nitin Kapoor, Jitendra's brother and a film producer, in 1985. Their sons have followed in their parents' footsteps, making a mark in the South film industry. Reportedly, tragedy struck in 2017 when Nitin Kapoor, Jitendra's brother, took his own life by jumping from the sixth floor of his Andheri residence. Reports suggest he had been battling depression. Jayasudha was left to raise their children alone after his passing. Jayasudha's third marriage at the age of 62 Later, according to several media reports, Jayasudha's third marriage at the age of 62 surprised everyone, as she had married an NRI. But Jayasudha called these reports a rumour and clarified that he is a filmmaker. He wanted to make a biopic on her, and that is the reason why he is seen with her all the time. From a teenage debutante to a seasoned star, Jayasudha's work in Tamil and Telugu cinema is impressive. Often likened to contemporaries Sridevi and Jaya Prada for her pan-South appeal, Jayasudha has carved out her niche in the industry, earning her a lasting legacy.
