Many come and many go but only a few are given space in our hearts. The same with Telugu actresses lived on in the hearts of the audience. There is always a unanimous pick of the legendary actress Savitri. She literally ruled the Telugu and Tamil film industry in her rein. Not one person could pinpoint a flaw in her acting. She is the best Telugu actress of all time according to many.
Based on the roles they choose and the way they exhibit their talent, some of the Telugu actresses are termed as the best. The number of successful films, their glamour quotient, and the ease with which they act all add up to their stardom. Certain actresses are forever remembered by the audience.
The earlier generation of actresses like Kanchanamala literally ruled the roost. Later, Bhanumathi is recognized as the female superstar of her generation. Top actresses of the 1970s like Vanisri and Jaya Prada became style icons. Ever since the 1980s top actresses Radha appeared on screen, the glamour quotient of Telugu heroines increased multifold.
The 1990s Tollywood heroine Soundarya received similar adulation as Savitri. In the meantime, Ramya Krishna carved a niche for herself with egotistic roles. Present day Tollywood heroines are from other states. With their acting calibre, beauty, and brains.
Most of them have a huge fan base, all-time biggest blockbusters, garnered numerous awards, and known at an international level. Some of them are the highest paid Indian actresses. In modern times, Telugu actresses gained worldwide popularity with regular releases in foreign countries.
