జర్నలిస్ట్ అర్ణబ్ గోస్వామి అరెస్ట్ ! Mumbai Police Arrested Republic TV Journalist Arnab Goswamy

From the very beginning, Telugu cinema had relatively few local heroines, which made it common to bring talent from other regions. Many actresses from the North have made their mark in the South, and among them, Haridwar-born Shriya Saran stands out.

Despite being a North Indian, Shriya has spent over two decades establishing herself in the South film industry. Even with a different language and culture, she has worked alongside top South stars, earning recognition and leaving her unique imprint. With her beauty, acting skills, and screen presence, Shriya has won over audiences and earned the status of a South superstar.

Shriya made her Telugu debut with Ishtam and later starred in blockbusters like Chhatrapati, Sivaji, and Manam. While she has also acted in several successful Hindi films, her recognition in the South remains unmatched, which is why she is widely referred to as a South heroine.

In a recent interview, Shriya expressed that being called a South star has never been a problem for her. She said, “The love I’ve received from South audiences is priceless. Over the years, my heart has truly become South Indian.” She made these comments while promoting her latest web series.

Fans have welcomed her remarks with enthusiasm, and many see it as a sign that Shriya is ready for a second innings in Tollywood. Her popularity, fan following, and market appeal in the South continue to be exceptionally strong.
