Silk Smitha is a well-known name in the eighties and nineties. The younger generation of today may not relate to her but she regaled a generation of fans with her sexy looks and hot item numbers.

What Mumaith Khan is doing today, Silk Smitha did it long time back. Her song ‘Baavalu Sayya’ is still fresh in the minds of movie enthusiasts and Smitha fans in particular.

A Tamil film with Smitha in the lead is now being released. She acted in the movie just before her death by suicide. The film titled Thanga Thamari (Golden Lotus) will be released shortly. A dubbed version will also hit the screen in Telugu.
