Has starred in over 225 films and had 25 films released in a single year

Niece of Vijayanirmala

Even though Telugu is her mother tongue, she never learned to read or write Telugu because she was born in Madras where Tamil and English are taught in schools. She acted in 225 Telugu films by having people read lines to her, and she would remember and deliver her lines.

She married Jeetendra's cousin Nitin Kapoor in 1985, claiming that it was their mutual love of cricket that made them close.

Vijayanirmala convinced Jayasudha's disapproving father to let the stage-struck girl act in films, and that she personally would take care of her, and he finally relented.

She claims that when she was a child, she was a very bad student and was only interested in films, dance, and cricket.

Her first son Nihar was born in 1986, and her second son Sreyanth was born in 1990.

Her sister Subhashini played supporting roles in several of Jayasudha's starrers, such as "Sivaranjani" (1978) and "Meghasandesham" (1982).
