Based on Jayakanthan’s explosive novel, this film features Lakshmi as Ganga, a woman who is sexually assaulted and subsequently rejected by her family. Her complex, non-traditional relationship with Kamal Haasan’s character challenged the deeply entrenched notions of virginity, honor, and love in Tamil society. Lakshmi won the National Film Award for Best Actress for this role.
At age 17, she entered an arranged marriage with Bhaskaran , an insurance professional. They have one biological daughter, Aishwariyaa Bhaskaran , who followed her mother’s footsteps into acting.
