Veteran South Indian actress Tulasi, widely known today for her impactful mother roles in Telugu and Tamil cinema, has officially announced her retirement through a series of heartfelt Instagram posts. Her decision marks the end of an extraordinary 58-year career, one that began when she was just three months old.
Tulasi first posted a picture of Sai Baba’s feet, captioned, “Guard and guide me and my son Sai!! Oh Deva, oh Sainadha.” She followed it with a message about trusting one’s intuition. In her next post, she confirmed her retirement with a simple but meaningful note: “Happy retirement! Here’s to enjoying every minute of your newfound freedom and adventures.”
In the caption, she elaborated: “In continuation of my Shirdi darshan this December 31, I wish myself a happy retirement. I will continue my journey in peace with Sainadha. Thanking all for helping me learn life. Sairam.” She also disabled comments on the post.
Born on June 20, 1967, Tulasi’s entry into cinema was almost accidental — the legendary Savitri, a family friend, requested to feature baby Tulasi in a cradle for a song in Bharya. From there, her journey unfolded through acclaimed performances as a child artist in classics like Seetamalakshmi (1978), Sankarabharanam (1979), and Mudda Mandaram (1981).
Tulasi also worked as a dubbing artist, lending her voice to multiple Mani Ratnam films. After a brief break, she made a strong comeback in 2003 with the Kannada hit Excuse Me, beginning a second innings that established her as one of South cinema’s most beloved screen mothers.
Over the years, she delivered memorable roles in films such as Mr Perfect, Iddarammayilatho, Dear Comrade, and in the web series Oka Chinna Family Story.
With her retirement, Tulasi concludes a remarkable and inspiring journey spanning nearly six decades — a legacy that has left an indelible mark on Indian cinema.
