MUMBAI: Veteran actress Jaya Prada is considered to be the most beautiful face ever to grace Indian cinema. She is one of the iconic, influential actresses in both the Telugu and Hindi film industries. The actress made her debut with Sargam in Bollywood. She went on to make several films in Hindi as well.
One of the most popular films is the 1984 release, Sharaabi opposite Amitabh Bachchan. It was her first film with the megastar.
The former Rajya Sabha MP once recalled her most difficult on-shoot experience. It was a song in D Ramanaidu production, titled Agni Poolu. The actress had to dance like a snake and Jaya said that she felt insulted when the director asked if she can attempt the dance. She recalled, “I got tears in my eyes,” but the shoot wasn’t a great experience for her.

“When I went to rehearsals, I was sick. I had a 103 temperature. The choreographer was a strict master. When I walked in, I was just five minutes late for which he made me stand on a single leg for half an hour as a punishment. I started crying because I was not well. He realised and eventually, we started rehearsing. During the rehearsals, because I had to move like a snake repeatedly, my back had rashes and I had a terrible hair fall,” she concluded.
