Biography
Sujatha Nidudavolu (born December 1, 1958), known professionally as Jayasudha, is an Indian actress and politician who works predominantly in Telugu and Tamil cinema.

Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, she established herself in mainstream commercial cinema, starring in features such as *Soggadu* (1975), the action film *Adavi Ramudu* (1977), *Idi Katha Kaadu* (1979), and the musical romantic drama *Premabhishekam* (1981).

Beginning in the late 1990s, Jayasudha shifted into supporting and character roles, appearing in the comedy *Money* (1993), the drama *Anthimanthaarai* (1996), and the Hindi drama *Sooryavansham* (1999). Over the subsequent decades, she played matriarchal figures across Telugu and Tamil productions, including the romantic drama *Alaipayuthey* (2000), *Amma Nanna O Tamila Ammayi* (2003), *Bommarillu* (2006), *Kotha Bangaru Lokam* (2008), *Seethamma Vakitlo Sirimalle Chettu* (2013), and *Shatamanam Bhavati* (2017).
