We normally talk about ANR, Savitri, NTR, SVR, Jamuna from the golden age of Telugu Cinema. People who have idea about the films and interest talk about Gummadi Venkateswara Rao, Jagayya, Relangi, Rajanala, Kannamba, Suryakantham, Ramana Reddy, Kantha Rao, Chittoor V Nagayya as well. But rarely we see people talking about yesteryear supporting actors who entertain them in smaller roles like “Chelikatthe” (help) and one or two scenes roles. Such actors pop up in many classics but still as their roles register in only few films, we tend to forget them easily.

One such person passed away today. Sita, actress famous for her “Chelikatthe”, heroine friend and one song with comedians like Relangi, Ramana Reddy, Allu Ramalingaiah roles, passed away at the age of 87, in Hyderabad. She married famous actor Naga Bhushanam and post marriage stayed away from films. Her family members did not enter into film business as far as we can say. Her last rites have been performed by her family members at Maha prasthanam. Some of her famous films include Mayabazaar, Devadasu, Pedda Manushulu, etc.
