Veteran Telugu actress Jamuna passed away in her residence in Hyderabad today due to age-related issues. She was 86 years old. The actress was born on August 20, 1936, in Hampi as Jana Bai and completed her education in Duggirala in Andhra Pradesh. In school, Jamuna was a stage artist and was taught vocal music and harmonium by her mother. She started her acting career with stage shows and made her debut with the film Puttillu in 1952.

She has worked in more than 150 films in Telugu, Tamil, Kannada and Hindi. She was also seen in the Hindi film Milan (1967), starring Sunil Dutt and Nutan. For this, she also won the Filmfare Award for Best Supporting Actress. Many South Indian celebrities took to social media to mourn her death.

Telugu actor Jr NTR took to Twitter and tweeted in Telugu, "She continued as Maharani in the Telugu film industry for almost 30 years. She left an indelible mark on our minds with many memorable films like Gundamma Katha, Missamma and many more diverse characters. May your soul rest in peace. My deepest condolences to Jamuna's family."
