J Jayalalithaa was one of Tamil Nadu's iconic leaders. She held the record for being sworn in as the Chief Minister for 6 times. She breathed her last on December 5, 2016, and laid to rest with full state honours near the MGR Memorial at Chennai's famous Marina Beach on the following day. 

Before entering active politics, Jayalalithaa had enthralled moviegoers with her acting skills.
