I grew up with a well-rounded exposure to India and a great respect for Indian culture.
My mom is a social worker and she would be rescuing abused women, orphaned kids finding the right NGO to support them.
“Dad was in the Army and therefore we used to move around a lot. From such a background, she landed up into the world of glitz and glamour. She hails from an armed forces background and has grown up in a very disciplined and practical environment. Sweet and understated, she hasn’t changed a bit and still remains the girl-next-door who her fans fell in love with. Her smile, ever so charming, takes us back through a nostalgic trip to the 80’s. A successful artist back in the day, a dotting wife and mother now and an ardent animal lover and philanthropist, she is now in the midst of becoming the Honorary Director of Annapurna International School of Film and Media. A passionate animal lover, she has been a welfare activist for animals and is also the co-founder of Blue Cross, Hyderabad. Today, when we think of animal welfare, Amala is the first name that comes to all our minds. She married Telugu Superstar Nagarjuna who she starred with her in two hit films “Siva” and “Nirnayam”. In a chat, she talks about her journey in cinema, marrying the man of her dreams, motherhood, animal welfare activism and more. Today, she lives for a cause and has nurtured her passion for animals into a movement.
One such performer was Amala Akkineni, who was a league apart in the industry for her “girl-next-door” persona and her breath-taking dancing skills. It was a time when heroines where all-rounders – it was not all about running around the trees and lip-syncing the songs, they were great actors and dancers and they oozed glamour when they had to. The 80’s witnessed a renewed approach towards Tamil cinema making way for fresh faces in the industry, who we remember till date.
