Her co-star of many films M.G Ramachandran, a huge superstar and the former Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu introduced her to the the world of politics. As Jayalalithaa was fluent in English language, she was MGR’s most represented candidate in the National politics. Their age-gap did no harm to their on-screen chemistry and soon the duo were topping the headlines. The AIADMK party members were divided between their support to the wife of MGR, Janaki Ramachandran and to the now popular star, Jayalalithaa. In a candid chat with Simi, the CM said she was humiliated and insulted post MGR’s death by the very men who later hailed her as the leader of the ruling party. She said, the day she was humiliated she decided she will fight for her dignity and in less than 5 years later she became the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu.
