In the close to 100 year history of Tamil Cinema there have been many heroines who made their lasting impressions on the minds of the viewers with their talents and beauty. Here we take a look at some contemporary heroines who have defied the aging process and remain as pretty and alluring as their first appearance on screen.' src='https://d2h7z5r5pp4sed.cloudfront.net/tamil/news/youngactress_372016_m.jpg' style='border-:1px solid; border-left:1px solid; border-right:1px solid; border-top:1px solid; height:422px; width:600px'/> Hema Malini

Kali The South Indian beauty who ruled Bollywood for many decades made her acting debut in Tamil in ‘Idhu Sathyam’ and much later acted with Kamal Haasan in ‘Hey Ram’. She is 67 now, which is hard to believe.

Sridevi

'Kali'' Just when Hema Malini’s reign was coming to an end another Tamil heroine Sridevi took the mantle from her and she commanded such a huge fan following all over the country that except for Amitabh Bachan all the other heroes were billed second to her. The ‘Moondram Pirai’ heroine appeared with Vijay in ‘Puli’ in 2015 and she has not lost one bit of her youth even though she is in her graceful fifties.

Manju Warrier

'Kali'' Though Manju has not done any Tamil films till now the reigning queen of the neighboring Mollywood was born in Nagercoil. The ageless beauty who is nearing forty is way ahead of the younger girls as she found her fan following intact after making a comeback after sixteen years.

Khushbu

'Kali'' The plump and cherubic Dreamgirl Khushbu in her heyday had a temple built for her and such was the spell she cast on her followers. Today, as a politician she still looks the same and still draws the crowds based on her magical charisma.

Meena

'Kali'' As a child artiste she made heads turn as the crippled child in ‘Anbulla Rajinikanth’ and later starred opposite the very Rajini in ‘Yejaman’ and went on to become the top heroine in all four South Indian languages opposite all leading heroes. Today she retains most of her charm and remains young and fetching..

Ramya Krishnan

'Kali'' The Neelambari of Tamil cinema Ramya Krishnan made her debut at the age of 13 and appeared in all South Indian languages as the lead heroine but is now more celebrated for her roles in ‘Padayappa’, ‘Panchathanthiram’ and ‘Baahubali’. Right now she is Kamal Haasan’s heroine in ‘Sabhash Naidu’ and she is still her usual stunning self.

Nathiya

'Kali'' The ‘Poove Poochoodava’ girl will give any young heroine a run for her money as far as the looks are considered, and though she appeared as a mother in ‘M. Kumaran s/o Mahalakshmi’ she looked as if she walked out right from the ‘Rajadhi Raja’ sets.

Amala

'Kali'' Who can forget the “Valaiyosai Kala kala” song of Kamal and Amala or the “Thoongadha Vizhigal rendu” with Prabhu and Amala. Though she has given up her career for the sake of family Amala is still a stunner and we hope she makes a comeback soon.

Simran

'Kali'' The most preferred pair of Vijay and Ajith in her heyday Simran is one beauty who has not lost her charm to this day and even in the recent ‘Trisha Illana Nayanthara’ she grabbed the audience attention in her cameo more than the much younger heroines of the film.

Jyothika

'Kali'' The hyperactive heroine of Tamil cinema has the distinction of making a comeback as a heroine after eight years of hiatus and giving a huge hit with ’36 Vayadhinile’. Jo, who still looks the same bubbly young girl is all set to appear in more films in the future.

Vidya Balan

'Kali'' The Tamil girl who missed doing a film here after shooting for a few days went on to rule Bollywood after giving some fine performances in ‘Kahaani’ and ‘Dirty Picture’. She also seems to reverse age each year and it will be nice to see her in a Tamil film soon.
