Saroja Devi is a remarkable artist, and beyond that, an extraordinary person. I will never forget how she spoke with care whenever we met, showing affection like a mother. Her passing has brought immense pain. I pay tribute to her artistic service, recognized as the Goddess of Acting.
ಸರೋಜಾ ದೇವಿ ಅವರು ಅದ್ಭುತ ಕಲಾವಿದೆ, ಅದಕ್ಕೂ ಮಿಗಿಲಾಗಿ ಒಬ್ಬ ಅದ್ಭುತ ವ್ಯಕ್ತಿ. ಯಾವಾಗ ಸಿಕ್ಕರೂ ಅವರು ಅಕ್ಕರೆಯಿಂದ ಮಾತನಾಡಿಸುತ್ತಿದ್ದುದನ್ನು, ತಾಯಿಯಂತೆ ಪ್ರೀತಿ ತೋರುತ್ತಿದ್ದುದನ್ನು ನಾನು ಎಂದಿಗೂ ಮರೆಯಲಾಗುವುದಿಲ್ಲ. ಅವರ ಅಗಲಿಕೆ ತುಂಬಾ ನೋವು ತಂದಿದೆ. ಅಭಿನಯ ಸರಸ್ವತಿ ಎಂದೇ ಗುರುತಿಸಲ್ಪಡುವ ಅವರ ಕಲಾ ಸೇವೆಗೆ ನಮನ pic.twitter.com/Ngvc3onZPU

Known as the Goddess of Acting, the multilingual star Mrs. Saroja Devi has set out with her charm. Possessing the pride of many languages, she has acted alongside numerous legends, becoming the character itself and remaining eternal on the silver screen. Like a Parijata flower, she has lived a full life with her fragrance and has now departed from us. Humble salutations to the Goddess of Art.
ಅಭಿನಯ ಸರಸ್ವತಿ ಎಂದೇ ಹೆಸರಾದ ಬಹುಭಾಷಾ ತಾರೆ ಶ್ರೀಮತಿ ಸರೋಜ ದೇವಿ ಅವರು ತಮ್ಮ ಮೋಹಕತೆಯೊಂದಿಗೆ ಹೊರಟಿದ್ದಾರೆ.ಹಲವು ಭಾಷೆಗಳ ಪ್ರೌಡಿಮೆ ಹೊಂದಿದ್ದ ಅವರು ಅನೇಕ ದಿಗ್ಗಜರೊಂದಿಗೆ ನಟಿಸಿ ತಾನೇ ಪಾತ್ರವಾಗಿ ಬೆಳ್ಳಿತೆರೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಶಾಶ್ವತವಾಗಿ ಉಳಿದಿದ್ದಾರೆ. ಪಾರಿಜಾತ ಪುಷ್ಪವೊಂದು ತನ್ನ ಪರಿಮಳದೊಂದಿಗೆ ತುಂಬು ಜೀವನ ನೆಡೆಸಿ ನಮ್ಮನ್ನು ಆಗಲಿ… pic.twitter.com/tlu6Tzfi4V

The news of the passing of the veteran artist, Padma Bhushan B. Sarojadevi, renowned as the Saraswati of acting, has deeply saddened me. Praying for eternal peace for her soul, I beseech God to grant strength to her family and her countless fans to bear the pain of her departure. Om Shanti.

Saroja Devi avru was a family friend and every time we met she shared so many personal anecdotes from her life, most of them humorous – she was always full of life and impeccably dressed! What a legacy of work she leaves behind for all her fans! She will be missed.

The iconic Saroja Devi amma is no more, but her legacy in Indian cinema will remain eternal. I was blessed to share the screen with her in Once More, a moment of pride that feels even more precious today. My deepest respects and prayers. May her soul rest in peace. Om Shanti.

RIP #SarojaDevi Madam.

"Wherever she saw me - at any age of mine - with fingers pinching my cheeks, with a voice calling me ‘dear son,’ she was another mother to me, Saroja Devi Amma. An artist who lived beyond the boundaries of language and region. She has passed away. From the moments of the shooting of my second film ‘Parthal Pasi Theerum’ to countless unforgettable memories that ripple through my heart. My eyes well up. A mother’s heart that always wished to see me as the foremost. I bow and bid farewell".
என்னைப் பார்க்கும் இடமெல்லாம் - என் எந்த வயதிலும் - கன்னம் கிள்ளும் விரலோடு, ‘செல்ல மகனே’ என்னும் குரலோடு இன்னொரு தாயாக இருந்தவர் சரோஜா தேவி அம்மா. மொழி, பிரதேச எல்லை இல்லாது வாழ்ந்த கலைஞர். மறைந்துவிட்டார். என் இரண்டாம் படமான ‘பார்த்தால் பசி தீரும்’ படப்பிடிப்புத் தருணங்கள்…
