Jeevitha

Jeevitha, popularly known as Jeevitha Rajasekhar is an Indian actress who has primarily worked in the Southern film industry featuring predominantly Tamil and some Telugu language movies in the Indian film industry. She was a prominent leading actress and was often cast as the second heroine during the 1980s era. She's also a director and producer now.[1][2] After marrying her co-star-turned-husband Rajasekhar in 1991, Jeevitha chose to completely step away from the limelight of acting and further focus on her marriage and family. Instead, she became a backbone of strength to support her husband’s acting career. She later became a director and producer for Rajasekhar’s films, many of which are remakes. She made her comeback into acting after thirty-three years in Lal Salaam.[3]
