Rambha Gossips
Lovely faced, beautiful, buxom and thunder-thighed Rambha makes the front benchers and balcony audiences alike go into raptures by her sheer sex appeal. She has a rare combination of an innocent face and a sensuous body that makes the male of the species squirm in their seats out of sheer delight.
Basically an Andhra girl, Rambha is famous in the Telugu film industry too. Once a crazy fan of Rambha came all the way from Andhra, landed straight in front of her palatial bungalow and remained there without food and drink. In spite of the watchman's stern warnings, the fan refused to stir out of the place without having a darshan of his dream girl! Finally the police swarmed the area and arrested the man. That's when Rambha came out of her bungalow and met the fan, who, thrilled to bits, said: “I have achieved my life time's ambition," and walked away coolly. She has made forays into Bollywood with Judwaa and Bandhan
C Sundar introduced Rambha in Tamil film Ullathai Alli Tha (Give me your heart). And the audience gave away their hearts to this sexy siren who sang “I love you love you sonnale" clad in a red micro mini which flew up in the air, a la Marilyn Monroe's famous photograph that stunned the world. “I saw that film hundred times just for the scene where Rambha walks stylishly with her frock flying up in the air," admits one fan sheepishly.
Rambha became a star overnight. Ullathai Alli Tha's stupendous success aroused a lot of expectations and her next film Sundara Purushan was with Livingstone, a well-known villain. Surprisingly, the film that was meant to be a flop clicked in a big way. Rambha’s fans say that the entire credit for the success should go to her and her revealing costumes. Clad in white saris, she would get drenched at the drop of a hat. Her career took a turning point when actor-director Kamal Haasan signed her for his comedy Kathala Kathala. Though she was Prabhu Deva's romantic pair, she had several scenes with Kamal Haasan, whose sense of comic timing is well known. Though acting with the Tamil star for the first time, Rambha managed to match up to him and many felt she complemented Kamal perfectly.
