Not only can she act, but she can definitely bust a move! The sister of another popular Tamil actress, Jyothika, Nagma starred in many 90s box office hits such as Kadhalan alongside Prabu Dheva and Baasha alongside Rajini. Because in most of the movies, the purpose of the heroine is to be the eye candy. People like Saritha, Sri Priya, Vadivukkarasi, Lakshmi etc. Because the audience is also of the patriarchal mindset.
