My Take

Suhasini Maniratnam is a creative force I find genuinely inspiring. Born in Chennai in 1961, she did not settle for being a celebrated actress; she stepped behind the camera as a director and screenwriter too. Acting across Telugu, Tamil, Kannada and Malayalam cinema speaks to a rare versatility, and her trophy cabinet, crowned by the 1986 National Film Award for Best Actress alongside Nandi and Filmfare South honours, confirms it. What I respect most is her refusal to be confined to a single role in the industry. She is a true matriarch of South Indian film, and the kind of multi-hyphenate artist I deeply admire.
