Veteran actress Simran, a celebrated name across South Indian cinema, is making headlines following her powerful and thought-provoking speech at the JFW Movie Awards 2025. While graciously accepting her award, the actress addressed ageism in the industry with poise and candor—subtly responding to a remark that many believe was a veiled slight from a fellow actress, reportedly aimed at Jyothika.

Simran, known for her versatility and seamless transition into character-driven roles, reflected on the value of mature performances, referencing her acclaimed portrayals in films like Amrutha and Surya S/o Krishnan.

“I recently messaged a female co-star, complimenting her on her role. I said I was pleasantly surprised to see her in it. She replied, saying, ‘At least it’s better than doing aunty roles.’ That was very insensitive,” Simran shared during her speech. “I wish I had a better comeback, but honestly, it’s okay to do aunty roles, main aunty roles, or play the mother of a 25-year-old, rather than do dabba roles.”

The term “dabba roles” immediately caught the attention of audiences and netizens alike. Many interpreted it as a subtle dig at Jyothika’s recent appearance in Netflix’s Dabba Cartel, which received a mixed reception, with critics noting the lack of depth in her character.

Despite the speculation, Simran maintained a dignified tone, earning widespread praise for championing substantive roles for women—regardless of age. Her comments have since gone viral, sparking discussions about how the industry perceives aging actresses and the importance of meaningful representation on screen.

Further reaffirming her enduring appeal, Simran recently made a surprise cameo in Ajith Kumar’s film Good Bad Ugly, a move that underscores her continued relevance and dynamic presence in the evolving cinematic landscape.

With her elegant demeanor and powerful words, Simran once again proves why she remains one of the most respected voices in Indian cinema.
