As a lifestyle connoisseur, I recall vividly the captivating presence of actress Simran during the South film industry’s golden years in the early 2000s. Her mesmerizing performances left audiences spellbound on the silver screen. The excitement was palpable when she made a memorable cameo in Good Bad Ugly, and fans went wild over her brief yet impactful screen time.

Fast forward to the JFW Movie Award 2025, Simran garnered well-deserved recognition for her riveting portrayal of a negative character in Andhagan. However, it was during her acceptance speech that she bravely shared an incident where one of her female co-stars publicly shamed her for taking on “aunty roles.” This revelation served as a stark reminder of the gender biases still prevalent in our industry, and we must continue to challenge such stereotypes and champion diversity and inclusivity.

Indeed, you’ve understood correctly! In her speech, Simran shared that she had expressed her surprise about her role to her fellow actor in a recent message. The actor responded by saying that at least she wasn’t playing an “aunty” role. Simran found this reaction thoughtless and felt she deserved a more considerate response. Although she accepted it was the co-actor’s personal opinion, the actress expressed her disappointment.

Simran subsequently expressed her viewpoint that it’s more fulfilling for her to assume “auntie” roles rather than “dabba” roles. She clarified that she prefers acting as mother characters, such as the one she played in Kannathil Muthamittal, compared to those with limited depth.

Simran emphasized that she’s gained her position through diligent effort and shouldn’t be subjected to disrespect. Regarding her roles, whether as a mother or otherwise, she made clear that these are her decisions, and they have garnered her positive respect.

She prefers portraying the role of an aunt more often, such as in Kannathil Muthamittal, rather than taking on minor or passive roles that don’t involve much action.

word-for-word: Simran’s speech spread rapidly on social media platforms, causing people to ponder over who the actor she was alluding to might be. When Simran mentioned “dabba roles,” it sparked theories that she could be hinting at Jyotika’s part in the Netflix series Dabba Cartel.
