Jayalalithaa, an actress who 'hated' the limelight, worked in over 140 films

Much before she won over people in her political avatar, J. Jayalalithaa was the uncrowned queen and a very popular pin-up star of Tamil cinema during 1960s and 1970s. But you will be surprised to know that as an individual, Jayalalithaa hated limelight, but in order to support her family she started her filmy carrier in 1961, when she was barely 12 years old.
