Some people may have already noticed the comment that appeared last night on one of my old posts about the dance duo Sai-Subbulaxmi. Madhuram Babai wrote:

Madhuram, thank you once again for writing in to tell us about the sad death of Sai, of the wonderful dance team, Sai-Subbulaxmi.
As I’ve said before, it has been difficult to find information about them… They did some of the greatest dances that appeared on film between the mid ’50s and mid ’60s, and they deserve to be well remembered.
RIP, Sai.
I only came to think of them through your post. Songs of course were great hits.
Really really good dancers, and really pretty too.
Thanks for posting about her death, really wish people got more recognition while they were alive..
The pair provided us with so many entertaining dance number.
May her soul rest in peace.
