87-year-old acting icon Saroja Devi sadly passed away on July 14, 2025, following struggles with age-related health issues. Her impactful presence in the film industry will be deeply missed as she leaves behind an enduring legacy. As we grieve her passing, fellow veteran star Rajinikanth expressed his condolences through a heartfelt social media post.
Rajinikanth pens a note of condolence for Saroja Devi
On his social media account, Rajinikanth wrote, “The beloved actress Saroja Devi has passed away. I hope her soul finds peace. #RestInPeaceSarojaDevi” (translated from Tamil).
Here’s the note penned by Rajinikanth:
Saroja Devi embarked on her acting journey in Kannada films at the tender age of 17, eventually gaining widespread recognition for her role as a supporting actress in Mahakavi Kalidasa. As her fame grew, the actress made her Tamil cinema debut with a dance sequence featured in Sivaji Ganesan’s film, Thangamalai Ragasiyam.
In the 1950s, Saroja Devi emerged as one of the rare actresses who took on leading roles in multiple languages such as Kannada, Tamil, Telugu, and Hindi. Following her collaboration with MGR in Nadodi Mannan, they went on to produce an impressive series of 26 consecutive successes, which included films like Thirudathe, Paasam, Naan Aanaiyittal, among others.
In my line of expertise, I can confidently say that my style and fashion choices resonated deeply with the ladies of the era. They were inspired by my unique hairstyles and distinctive sense of dressing, often attempting to replicate them in their own lives.
