Tributes

Veteran producer D. Ramanaidu, who produced Kaliyuga Pandavulu in 1986, which was his son Venkatesh's debut film, said, "Ashwini was a bubbly actress, and although she was playing the second lead in our film, she grabbed the attention of viewers." R. Parthiepan, who introduced her to Tamil films with Pondatti Thevai said, "she was a little plump, but suited the role that I have conceived and the next day, she was on board. In fact, she replaced a leading actress who had reservation doing film with me". Incidentally it was Parthiban who helped Ashwini's family to carry her body in an ambulance to Andhra. In addition to this, he has also agreed to take the responsibility of Ashwini's son Karthick's education expenses completely.[3]
