One of India’s most charismatic & popular leaders, Ms. Jayalalithaa was a visionary & able administrator. Her life was dedicated to the socio-economic transformation of Tamil Nadu and its people.

Jayalalithaa ji’s connect with citizens, concern for welfare of the poor, the women & marginalized will always be a source of inspiration. My thoughts and prayers are with the people of Tamil Nadu in this hour of grief. May the Almighty grant them the strength to bear this irreparable loss with courage and fortitude.

Kailash Kher: Jayalalithaa still lives in millions of hearts. A politician with the soul of an artiste. May your soul rest in peace.
It’d be impossible for any future politician to attain the status she has achieved in Tamil nadu.
I’m sure even after decades just like late MGR her name itself would be enough to draw people to pooling booth.
#RIPAmma
Finally…..
Rip amma.. she was queen of bollywood at her time.. And will always be a queen for us.
Commenting like this is a fashion in bollywood…… when those politicians r alive they will always target them and now this comments from them just seem to b meaningless…….
She was Actress of Tamil Cinema & after that she has come in politics become CM of Tamilnadu . She was nice lady & good human being . People called Amma to her .
may ur soul rest in peace
As Sri Lankans we celebrate the death of this bitch
@Challa : I knew you will be the first to comment on this. My deep condolences for irreplaceable loss for the TN people. She was a great and bold lady. RIP Amma.
@Challa : Did you visit to pay your last homage to her ? or did you attend her funeral ?
@hrithik : who do u think u r?? Hrithik Roshan??
This is the status you gain for being a wealth accumulator, a manipulator or to put it simply, a politician.
God bless her soul
Today’s women should learn frm
Her life
She was like real AMMA for lakhs of people
???
I m really sad
@hrithik No..I live in Vellore and her last rites were held in Chennai.
Actually we weren’t even supposed to leave our campus in fear of any untoward incident yesterday
@Challa : Okay :-)
@Vek : You think you are Vivek Oberoi ? Lol
May her soul rest in peace. For all the sacrifice she made, people will remember her.
I think civilized and matured being won’t criticize the demise.
@happy I think we have to respect other’s emotion. It’s not time for you to pour your whatever anger. And I think it’s inhumane.
RIP Amma
I think her death is not natural but well planned murder.
