Some Facets of Ms Jayalalita the Tamil Nadu Chief Minister sentenced to a 4 year Jail term

Ms. Jayalalita the Tamil Nadu Chief Minister, now sentenced to 4 years in jail. This is the first case of a Chief Minister being sentenced to jail for corruption. Kudus to the Indian judiciary. A llok at the life of the Chief Minister will perhaps throw some light on her psychological make up. Many forget that she was not from an affluent family and had started her career as an actress. Her father died when she was 2 years old and at the age of 15 was introduced to Tamil films.

This was the clue to her later actions. She caught the eye of the faamous actor MGR who had a penchant for virgin girls and she promptly went to bed with him and became his mistress though he was 30 years her senior. She started acting in Tamil films but her hero was only MGR. MGR gave her permission to work in a Hindi film opposite the he man Dharmendra. She was the heroine of the film "Izzat".

The film did average business and MGR never permitted her to act in any other film. he was a possessive man and jayalalita is not known to have had any other lover or relationship. The sad part is MGR never married her and she has no children.After the death of MGR she donned the robe of his political heir as MGR had entered politics and become Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu.

 Two things stand out, her relative penury and a mistress of a man old enough to be her father. Probably after the death of MGR and with unbridled power she indulged in her dream of riches and glory. This was her doom. Did she realize that without any children or heir, what would she do with all the wealth she had amassed ?
