The acclaimed actress lived in the Telugupalayam hamlet near Annur in the Coimbatore district, where she had starred in films alongside well-known comedians Vadievelu and Vivek.
For several months, she had been suffering from age-related problems.
Now, Gautham, the director of Tamil, with whom Rangamma Patti collaborated on multiple films, has posted a touching message on Facebook. He wrote: “No one can forget Rangamma’s grandmother’s smirk in the movie, which I directed, as she smiles like a child, patting the back of my shoulder with her hand.”
Rengamma Patti’s artistic path, which started with Ms Jayalalithaa and lasted four generations till her death, was difficult.
A snapshot of the veteran actress lounging on the roadside at a bus stop went viral on social media previously. The actress was en route to her birthplace when she was allegedly abandoned by her children, who allegedly defrauded her of her fortune before dumping her.
Rangamma Patti was later discovered to have returned to her village with her child and sister. Her medical treatment is costing her a lot of money. Rangamma Patti was later discovered to have returned to her village with her child and sister. Her medical treatment is costing her a lot of money.
