Veteran Telugu actress Jamuna, who was the female lead to legendary N T Rama Rao and other leading stars of yesteryear, passed away here on Friday due to old age. She was 87. She passed away Friday morning due to age-related issues, family members told reporters.

Jamuna, who immortalised the character of Satyabhama in mythological films, had started acting in stage plays at a young age and went on to act in over 200 films. Though she acted mainly in Telugu films, Jamuna also worked in a few Tamil, Kannada and Hindi films.
