Jayaprada’s film journey is a marvel. She debuted in cinema under Bapu’s direction, recalling how he molded her in such a way that everyone would exclaim, “Bapu’s Sita has arrived!” Specifically, she revealed that Bapu gave her special training on how to lower her eyes and walk without lifting her head to perfectly embody the character of Sita.
Professional Rivalry with Sridevi
The professional rivalry between Jayaprada and Sridevi back then was widely known. However, Jayaprada recounted that this rivalry was sometimes fierce. “Even when they saw me at the airport, they would say, ‘There goes Sridevi.’ They didn’t even know who Jayaprada was or who Sridevi was.” She expressed sorrow, recalling instances in cities like Kolkata where clashes between their fans escalated to fatalities, with individuals stabbing each other. Nevertheless, she became emotional, stating that Sridevi’s absence now causes her immense pain and that she misses her greatly.
Recalling her association with Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan, Jayaprada recounted a memory from the ‘Sharaabi’ film shoot. An unknown person was harassing her, and Amitabh personally came, rescued her, and took her to the makeup room.
Marriage: Her “Wrong Decision” and Fears
When asked, “What was the wrong decision you took in your life?”, Jayaprada answered without hesitation, “My marriage.” She lamented that being a film celebrity was a kind of curse, and that her personal life contained more insecurity than happiness. She recalled days when she lived in fear for her life, fearing a possible acid attack.
Jayaprada confirmed that her son, Siddharth, will soon be introduced to the silver screen. She mentioned that he has immense dedication towards cinema and is already receiving several offers. She revealed that although he looks like a Bollywood hero, it is her wish that, as a Telugu person, he should first start his career in the Telugu industry.
