Shanthakumari Nambiar (born 22 May 1951), known by her stage name Seema, is an Indian actress.[1] She has acted in 260 films in Malayalam, 25 in Tamil, 7 in Telugu, 6 in Kannada and one in Hindi. Veteran actor Vijayan gave her the screen name Seema.[2]Bringing a remarkable change in the style of acting from traditional Malayalam movies at that time, she was considered as the top and most popular actress of her time.

Career

Seema began her career in Tamil film at the age of 18 as a dancer. She debuted as an actress in director Lisa Baby's Nizhale Nee Sakshi, but this film was shelved. (It was later completed with Vidhubala as heroine.) Veteran actor Vijayan rechristened her name as Seema during the filming of Nizhale Nee Sakshi.

At the age of 26, Seema starred as the heroine in her first movie in Malayalam titled Avalude Ravukal (Her Nights), directed by I. V. Sasi.[3][4][5] After a few years of inactivity during 1990s, Seema became active again in 1998 in Olympiyan Anthony Adam. Seema won the Kerala State Film Award for Best Actress in 1984 and in 1985. Vishudha Shanthi, a biography on her life, was published by Didi Damodaran, in 2011.[citation needed] She achieved the Lifetime achievement award at the 59th Idea Filmfare festival at Chennai.[6]

Personal life

She married director I. V. Sasi on 28 August 1980. The couple have two children, one daughter Anu and one son Ani.
