Many celebrities praised the beauty of Vijayasree. "She is the most beautiful woman I have ever met", said director [[Bharathan]] to his associate, [[Jayaraj]], once. "She was verily the [[Marilyn Monroe]] of Malayalam. No other actress had as many male admirers as she had. No other actress had as many hits as her in such a short span of time. No actress had made such a sudden impact in Malayalam cinema. People went to the theatre to see her, and that is something that has not happened before (her time)", said Jayaraj.
