CM Jayalalitha never married and hence had no children. Some fraudsters tried to tarnish her name and even filed court cases claiming to be her daughter.
JJ Amma’s personal life was really very pathetic. At a very young age as a school student her mother shattered all her dreams – pressuring her to act in films. Because of her beautiful looks and family’s poverty she was forced to take up acting as her profession.
CM Jayalalitha and MGR relationship
The turning point in her life came when she met Bharat Ratna MGR and he became her mentor. She wanted to join her life with MGR but he politely refused and also advised her that he was not the right person to marry her. Once again she had to face disappointment and frustration.
She reached the pinnacle of cinema fame by becoming a successful heroine of Tamil cinema. Her films paired with MGR were super-duper hits.
Once again love knocked on his door. He fell in love with Telugu actress Shobhana Bhabu, he openly declared in an article in the Tamil magazine “Kumudham” that “he is maintaining a steady relationship with Shobhana Bhabu”.
Here too his love failed as Shobhana Babu’s wife did not agree to marry him. She was heartbroken many times.
CM Jayalalitha political guru
MGR advised her to concentrate in politics. She followed her guru’s advice and became an active politician. She was appointed the Propaganda Secretary of AIADMK. She toured all over Tamil Nadu and her charisma and kindness towards the poor and downtrodden attracted millions of Tamil people – especially women!
CM Jayalalitha political history
She was then called “Amma” – meaning mother. This wave of special sympathy catapulted her to the seat of power in Tamil Nadu. She was the “Queen of Tamil Nadu” for more than a decade. Her rule became a golden rule in the history of Tamil Nadu – due to the innumerable welfare schemes initiated by her – which attracted the attention of the entire Indian people towards Tamil Nadu.
Many states followed her “Amma Unavagam” (Mother’s Restaurant) scheme – feeding poor people subsidized meals at cheap prices 3 times a day.
Millions of people fondly called Jayalalithaa “Amma”. But deep inside she was yearning for a mother’s kindness, love, affection and passion – because her mother had died; her brother had quarreled with her and left.

Jayalalithaa was accused of corruption. But the Karnataka High Court acquitted her. The evil power with its old vendetta took the case to the Supreme Court and the learned judges there could not convict her as she had already gone to heaven. The snake was sentenced to 4 years in jail for collecting money behind the back of the lioness JJ without her knowledge.
