The answers for Tele-vetti 5 :

1. Srilekha Rajendran - Both pondatti and purushan are DD drama veterans. Srilekha's purushan is serial actor Rajendran, also a very popular dupping artiste who won the State award, a few years ago for the best dupping artiste. Srilekha played Delhi Ganesh' s wife in Sindhu Bhairavi and continues to wear the same azhukku sari in all her dramas... especially the DD ones.

2. Pollachi Babu - Plays villain in a lot of serials and has an irritating voice.

3. Priyadarshani - Ex-Sun TV, now a Kalaignar TV loyalist, she won Maanada Mayilada 2 along with a loser whose name I forget. She acted with Bhaakyaraj as a child artiste in Davani kanavugal and some Ramanarayan kinda film as a Nagapambu ponnu who puts her tongue out everytime she sees milk and egg. Priyadarshini's sister is the highly irritating, annoying Divyadarshini of Vijaaaai Jodi No.1 Seeesan .. blah blah!

4. Latha - Acted with M G R Sir in a few films... earlier known as Kutty latha - now as Kutty Yaanai Latha.

5.Nithya - We call her velaikkari Nithya and the nickname owes its origin to her waanderful look in DD dramas. Has a perennial Velaikkennai expression. Does dubbing for English films dupped in Tamizh and for actors like Nalini in Kolangal.

6. Chandrabose - Once an aastana music composer for all AVM films, he disappeared suddenly only to make a super duper come back on Chinnathirai as an actor.

7. Yuvarani - Acted in a couple of films like Jaadi malli types. Became popular on 'Chitti' where she played the villi opposite Yakka Yakka Radhika.

8. Swarnamalya - Sorimalya was an anchor on Sun TV's Ilamai Pudumai. Got married, went to the US of A, came back , tried to do some B grade films... and now back on Chinnathirai in Bharathiraja's Terkathi ponnu.

9. Sudha Chandran - 'Mayuri' Sudha Chandran started this trend of vampish look - big pottu, jaga jagaa look in Hindi serials and has managed to successfully import the same look-u in Tamizh serials as well.

Hindi mein bolo

10. Ratna Pathak Shah - Remember Idhar Udhar on DD where she acted with Supriya Pathak?Ratna Pathak Shah is a theatre personality. Her purushan is Naseeruddin Shah.
