Her career took a downturn in the late 1960s. Ganesan continued to philander and she was susceptible to favouring hangers-on with her largesse. Savriti was known for her hospitality, philanthropic gestures, and her love of buying property and jewellery, but she kept little control of her spending. She was given a minor speaking role in the film and in the next year had two more minor roles, in Roopavati and Patala Bhairavi, before getting her big break as second heroine in Pelli Chesi Choodu. That role did not become actuality because she became too excited, necessitating numerous retakes and eventually her replacement in the part. She made an unsuccessful speculative trip to find film work in Madras at the age of 12, when she was deemed to be too young to play heroine roles, but in 1950 was cast as the female lead in Samsaram. Savitri acted in dance dramas as a child, including some work with a theatre company run by Kongara Jaggaiah. Ganesan later acknowledged that he had two daughters with Pushpavalli while married to Savitri, with whom he had a daughter and a son. Her marriage became public when she signed a photograph as Savitri Ganesh. The marriage led to a permanent rift with her uncle because Ganesan was already married, had four daughters and was involved in an affair with Pushpavalli. Savitri married Tamil actor Gemini Ganesan in 1952, having first met him in 1948. Her uncle, Kommareddy Venkataramaiah Chowdary, enrolled her in classes when she began to show a talent for dance. Her father died when she was six months old, after which her mother took Savitri and an older sibling, Maruti, to live with an aunt and uncle. Her father was Nissankara Guruvaiya and mother was Nissankara Subhadramma. Savitri was born on 6 December 1936 into a Telugu speaking family in Chirravuru, Guntur district, Madras Presidency, now a part of Andhra Pradesh. The 2018 biographical film Mahanati based on the life of Savitri has garnered the "Equality in Cinema Award" at the 2018 Indian Film Festival of Melbourne. Savitri received "A Moon Among Stars" honor at the 30th International Film Festival of India, "Woman in Cinema" section in 1999. She was also starred in works such as Missamma (1955), Ardhangi (1955), Thodi Kodallu (1957), Mangalya Balam (1959), Aradhana (1962), Gundamma Katha (1962), Doctor Chakravarty (1964), Sumangali (1965), and Devata (1965).
Savitri was starred in enduring classics such as Pathala Bhairavi (1951), Devadasu (1953) which received special mentions at India International Film Festival, Donga Ramudu (1955), Mayabazar (1957), and Nartanasala (1963), featured at Afro Asian film festival in Jakarta. She is often referred as "Mahanati!" and "Nadigaiyar Thilagam". In 1968, she produced and directed the Telugu film Chinnari Papalu, for which she received the state Nandi Award for Best Feature Film (Silver). In 1960, she received the Rashtrapati Award for her performance in the Telugu film Chivaraku Migiledi.
Savitri's first significant role was in the 1952 Telugu film Pelli Chesi Choodu. She is also known for her works in Kannada, Malayalam, and Hindi films. Savitri Ganesan (born Nissankara Sarasavanidevi) was an Indian film actress, playback singer, dancer, director and producer known for her works primarily in Telugu cinema and Tamil cinema.
