Silk Smitha's Birth Anniversary
On December 2, the 63rd birth anniversary of Silk is observed. Recognised for her roles in various Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, Kannada, and Hindi films, the acclaimed actor passed away in September 1996. Her portrayal as a cabaret dancer named Silk in the 1980 movie Vandichakkaram propelled her to stardom, but she frequently found herself typecast in analogous roles thereafter.
Despite her prominence in glamorous characters, Silk consistently expressed a desire to be recognised as a versatile character artist, longing for her performances to be appreciated for their depth and seriousness.
