Jaya Prada, the veteran actress and luminary of the Indian film industry, has been sentenced to six months in jail and fined Rs. 5,000 by the Egmore Magistrate Court in Chennai for a case that dates back several years. Along with her, her business partners - Ram Kumar and Raja Babu - were also found guilty and sentenced.
Reports indicate that the case was filed by the employees of the movie theatre owned by Jaya Prada, Ram Kumar and Raja Babu in Chennai. The employees alleged that the three had failed to pay the Employee State Insurance (ESI) amount that was deducted from their salaries. Subsequently, the case was taken up by the Labour Government Insurance Corporation, leading to the Egmore Magistrate Court in Chennai. Despite Jaya Prada's plea to the court to dismiss the case, her appeal was denied, and the verdict of imprisonment and a fine was pronounced.
Jaya Prada has been a part of the Indian film industry since the late '70s and '80s, and is celebrated for her exceptional contributions to both Telugu and Hindi cinema. She has starred in many iconic and influential films such as "Siri Siri Muvva," "Sargam," "Sindoor," "Maa," and "Ooriki Monagadu," and is often lauded for her unparalleled beauty.
In addition to her acting career, Jaya Prada is also heavily involved in the political landscape. She is currently affiliated with the Bhartiya Janta Party, and has used her influence to engage in several political activities. Recently, she had been the chief guest for the National Achievers Awards 2022.
The details of the case remain in the dark, with more information yet to be released. Nonetheless, it is certain that Jaya Prada is committed to repaying all dues owed to the theatre staff. As we celebrate her birthday, it is only fitting to reflect on her most memorable songs and performances that have graced the silver screen.
