I am speechless after watching Sowkar Amma Interview, Today's Stars have to replicate her Passion, Simplicity,Honesty, Dedication, HardWork, Performance.Can I see one More Sowkar ,is that Possible! I bet today's director n script writer can u show Amma again in a super duper role?? I want to see Amma in Cruel Mother in law role which she hasn't done!

[@mohaniyer8872]

Sowkar Amma though i live overseas i have watched most of your films from childhood. You have a special place in our hearts. My humble wish is to meet you in person.Pray God will give me that opportunity this year

கம்பீரமான சலனமற்ற அழகான தோற்றம் உங்கள் உரையாடல் கண்ணியத்துடன் மிகத்தெளிவாக இருந்தது. நீங்கள் நடித்த தமிழ் படம் அனைத்தும் நான் பார்த்திருக்கிறேன். உங்கள் நடிப்பை ரசித்து வியந்திருக்கிறேன். உங்களுக்கு கொடுத்த பாடல்கள் அதில் நீங்கள் உங்க திறமையை அழகாக வெளிப்படுத்தி இருப்பீர்கள். எனக்கு உங்களை ரொம்ப ரொம்ப பிடிக்கும். உங்கள பற்றின பேட்டி வராதா என்று காத்துக் கொண்டு இருந்தேன். அது நிறைவேறியது. மகேந்திரன் சார் க்கும் எனது நன்றி. ஜானகி அம்மா ஆசை அனைத்தும் நிறைவேற நான் பிராத்தனை செய்கிறேன்.

[@judevinoth1]

Probably one of the most beautiful interview in recent times, iam a youngster of this generation and I still find her interesting that she can pull of a meaty role if offered, common young age directors think about it. And special mention to YG Mahendran Sir for his beautiful questions and keeping the interview lively

[@my-yo1nj]

Role should demand her.cant forcefully put her

[@shasha7710]

Amma, I keep seeing this video repeatedly but don't know why, can't forget your role in kavyathalaivimotorsundram pillai, par magalae par, bama vijayam, thillumullu what a nice human being you are! Love you maa! 🙏 👏

I think I have watched all of your tamil movies and your performance never fail to amaze me. I am very picky with the movies I watch and if it is a Sowkar amma starter, i jump on it. Enjoyed all of your movies ma'am. Thank you for your great contribution and being one of the main reason for "quality" cinema.

Heroes and Heroines who’s are trying to be super stars and lady super stars should see this madam’s interview and learn how to be better human being and reduce wasting producers money

[@gakkadguy]

Why? When producer makes 300% profit does he share with writers, camerman, technician, actors who contribute to it? Why charity is always the responsibility of working middle class?

[@adithyasalem5621]

first super stars and lady super stars should dub in their own voice insted of taking the fame of dubbing artist
