From mega movie star to formidable politician. Amma, as they called her, was laid to rest at Chennai's Marina Beach today, buried next to her mentor MGR. Lakhs turned out to say goodbye to a leader whose legacy is complex. She was extremely popular for her welfare schemes that helped the poor, but was also authoritarian. She faced serious corruption charges, for which she went to jail twice. But for many, what stands out is how she made a mark in a world dominated by men. (Video Courtesy: Thanthi TV, Jaya TV)
