They moved to Chennai for work, which was where Jayachitra was born and raised as Rohini.

Her grandmother looked after her when her parents were busy with work.

With her mother's encouragement, she became a child star at the age of six in the Telugu film Bhakta Potana..

When Jayachitra was in her early teens, she screen-tested for a Telugu film titled Beedala Paatlu, but the director felt she was too young and rejected her for the role.

1971

She made other unforgettable films: Ponnukku Thanga Manasu, Sathyam, Kalyanamam Kalyanam, Vandikaran Magan, Cinema Paithiyam (remake of the Hindi hit film Guddi (1971)).

Most of her Tamil films are with Kamal Haasan.

1972

However, he did recommend her to K.S. Gopalakrishnan, who was looking for a young, spirited heroine, for the Tamil film Korathi Magan, (1972).

He immediately cast her, because he loved the way she delivered her lines.

He signed her for three films under his banner and gave her the name Jayachitra.

1973

She continued in heroine roles in Ponnukku Thanga Manasu (1973) and played Sivaji's daughter in Bharata Vilas and was one of the 9 heroines in MGR's Navaratnam. She worked for big-name directors, such as K. Balachander in Sollathaan Ninaikiren and Arangetram.

She faced a snake up close in Vellikizhamai Viratham (1974), and then a tiger in the Telugu film Cheppindi Chesta (1978).

1977

She memorably played the title role in the Telugu film Kalpana (1977), a remake of the Hindi hit film Anamika (1973)...

1978

As an actress, she was known for her courage and spontaneity as she continued to star in Tamil and Telugu films.

1983

After more than a decade as a heroine, Jayachitra decided to concentrate on her personal life by marrying an industrialist named Ganesh in 1983.

She has a son with him named Amresh, whom she is trying to promote in show business, just as her mother had done with her.

1989
