Savitri's story hidden facts

[PattakathiBhairavan]

In 1952 Gemini Ganesan was her co-star in a Tamil movie, Manapolu Mangalyam. She was 15-16 of age and he was 16 years her senior and was married with children. He was asked to teach her Tamil. He must’ve been a charmer and she must’ve been charmed. They secretly married in a temple in 1952 and Savitri announced that in an oblique way in 1956 (she signed for a fan as “Savitri Ganesan”). In reality, telling her family about her marriage in 1956 had much drama, with Savitri jumping from the back wall of her house and fleeing to Ganesan’s home*** to escape her very controlling uncle. 
Savitri had Rs. 750 in her bank account when she and Gemini Ganesan started a life together in a rental. Thankfully, her relations with her uncle mended due to a truce managed by Akkineni (ANR). 
But there was more. Ganesan was also in a secret relationship with Pushpavalli. Pushpavalli was a talented actress and was the lead in a few films in late 40’s in which Gemini Ganesan had small roles. Actress Rekha, one of their two daughters, was born in 1954.

Savitri had already died the night she went into coma. Even in those days there must've been privacy if a person, especially a celebrity, was in state of coma or acute ill-health. Somehow, she didn’t have privacy. Lots of individuals were allowed to visit and even take pictures.  The final clinical death was on December 26, 1981. She was 44. 
I wish media would stop making news of her one+ year in coma and give the privacy at least now.

Savitri married GG secretly in 1952

GG met Pushpavalli  in 1951 and had two daughters with Pushpavalli (Rekha who was born in 1954 and Radha who was born in 1955), during which time he was married to Savitri. 

 

The couple decided to go to the press about their marriage in 1956.

She liked buying a lot of property and jewellery and was as gracious in helping the needy. She kept an open house, people walked in and out at their will. If anyone admired her silk saree, she would readily give it away; once Suseela (singer) had gone to her place to collect donation to help senior actors, Savitri opened her purse and gave all the money she found, without even counting (which was over Rs 15,000). She would never say no to students who came seeking help for education.

Dasari about Savitir

 

Senior director Dasari Narayana Rao shares, “People say drinking ruined her. But who doesn’t drink in film industry? She just chose to be open about it. She was generous, extremely helpful and loving. Once she saw a junior artiste who fainted during a shot. On enquiry she found that the artist in question skipped her lunch as the production executive talked rudely to her, when she requested for better food. The next day, she brought lunch for the entire unit – the same seven different curries that she brought for herself.

 

The producer who heard this was apologetic and ensured that everyone was fed well from that day on.  Once we were winding up shooting and the unit was planning to celebrate my birthday, she heard the commotion and asked me – Thammudu! What is all this and I told her? She was upset for not being informed about it earlier and immediately took her gold chain and put it in my neck. It was one of my most memorable moments with her. This was before she left to Bangalore never to return again.”

 

Dasari was one of the few people who helped her during her last days. In fact he ensured there was a role for her in most of his films like ‘Gorintaaku’. He made the film, ‘Devadasu Malli Puttaadu’, especially for her, it is believed, so as to support and help her during difficult times. In later years, many, including the family members tried to say that Savitri had absolutely no financial problems. Dasari refuses to divulge, “She is a great actress and there were roles for her. And if I wanted to help her what is the use of saying it now. I have the highest regard for her and that will always be there.”

 

Why is it that no other actress has ever been able to reach her popularity or stature? “That is because she has the most expression-filled face. And for her acting is a passion,” he added.
