Slksmitha, the name shakes the south indian world of cinema. She is hot item bomb of south india. Though she has not exited in this world but also she is making the world so romantic with her story life as a love story movie, "Dirty picture".

Famous and hot Item girl Silk Smitha's real name is Vijayalakshmi. She born on 2nd December, 1960 in Eluru, Andhra Pradesh.

She left school after her fourth standard, determined to become a film star. Her mother tongue is Telugu. Moving in with her aunt to Madras (now Chennai) the centre of southern India's booming film industry. She soon found a sponsor who renamed her Smitha. After garnering much notice and acclaim with her first major role, in the Tamil movie Vandi Chakkaram, in 1979, Smitha assumed the name "Silk," after the bar girl of that name she played in the movie.

Silk Smitha initially played serious lead roles in several Telegu films, but, over-partial to revealing, sequinned bodices and low-slung, tight-fitting saris, she was eventually typecast as the ultimate sex-siren, utterly desirable but just out of reach


Even though Smitha appeared in some character roles, she became popular through her glamourous appearances in softcore films. Silk Smitha went on to star in about 300 Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, Kannada and a few Hindi films. Her dance numbers and her bold performances in films like Moondru Mugam have made her the ultimate symbol of sensuality in Tamil, Kannada. Malayalam and Telugu cinema. Her item numbers in films like Amaran were also celebrated at the box office.

Smitha too became a household name after Tamil films like Moondram Pirai ("Third night of the New Moon"), Moondru Mugam ("Three Faces") and Kozhi Kuvuthu ("The Cock is Crowing"). Besides Tamil cinema she also featured in scores of Telegu, Malayalam and even mainstream Hindi films in Hollywood. Smitha's personal life, however, contrasted sharply with her screen persona.


Some film critics, historians and journalists have referred to her as a "soft porn" actress. The vast majority of her movies are softcore and a common theme is her playing a freakishly strong agent in skimpy bikinis beating up huge thugs.


Even in the rare non-sexual roles, she impressed critics and audiences, such as her role of a wife hurt by her husband's infidelity in Alaigal Oivathillai (1981). One of her films, Layanam, has earned a cult status in the Indian adult film industry, and was remade as Reshma ki Jawani. Her most respected film is Moondram Pirai, remade as Sadma that starred Sridevi.

She was deeply religious and like many pious Indians had her own little temple at home where she prayed several times a day.

Unfortunately on 23rd September 199, Smitha was found dead in her apartment in Chennai. The previous year she had tried to shift her career to become a film producer. Financial problems, a disillusionment in love and an alcohol dependency apparently led to a depression. It is suspected that Smitha committed suicide.
