Vyjayanthimala left her Bollywood career and moved to Chennai. “My husband and I mutually decided that I should give up on films. Looking after the house and family is also a profession. You have to be true to whatever you do. I felt I couldn’t divide my time between films and home. I’d had my innings, worked with the best in the industry. The industry gave me so much of love, name, fame and respect. I was at the peak and felt it was the best time to give up. It’s heartening that people still remember me with affection. The younger generation that has seen my movies as reruns on television also knows me,” said Vyjayanthimala, as reported by iDiva.
