While the Gen Z kids may struggle to recognise who the lady in this picture is, the Millennials will quickly recollect her as Girija Shettar, the heroine of Nagarjuna and Mani Ratnam\u2019s classic romance drama, Geethanjali. The film, which was released in 1989, made Girija a heartthrob of those times.<\/p>\n
Girija made a rare video appearance on the first episode of Jagapathi Babu\u2019s talk show \u2018Jayammu Nischayammu Raa With Jagapathi.\u2019 Geethanjali hero Nagarjuna was the guest on this special Independence Day episode.<\/p>\n
In a video message on the talk show, Girija was all praise for her Geethanjali co-star Nagarjuna. \u201cGeethanjali was my first movie. Nag has a great sense of humour. He\u2019s a gentleman and nothing less than a legend. \u201cThank you, Nag, for being the co-star of my debut film,\u201d Girija said, as she went nostalgic.<\/p>\n
Girija\u2019s gorgeous looks, dialogues, and even her costumes in Geethanjali were a rage in the late 80s and early 90s. The actress had appeared in only about seven movies in her career. She is currently settled in London, where she works as a journalist.<\/p>\n
