    The greatest actress and the only one to be named Nadigaiyar Thilagam. She deserved it, as she was comparable to Sivaji in many aspects.

  4. Keerthy Suresh

  5. Jyothika

    She is the best actress in Tamil Cinema. Not only in her second innings, but she has also acted in many experimental films like Snegithiye, June R, Three Roses, Pachaikili Muthucharam, and Mozhi in her first innings. She didn't depend on glamour and took risks by acting in films that didn't have a powerful hero to market the film.
