Born as Vijayalakshmi, in a poor family in Eluru, Andhra Pradesh, Smitha left school after her fourth standard due to financial constraints. Due to her good looks, she was exploited by men, thus her family married her off at a very young age. But when she started getting ill-treated by her husband and in-laws, she ran away to Chennai and started living with an aunt.
The sobriquet "Silk" came in 1979, with her first Tamil film Vandi Chakkaram, in which she played a bar girl named Silk. In a career spanning 17 years, she did over 450 films in Tamil, Malayalam, Telugu, Kannada and Hindi languages

Even as the male in us was excited by the raw sensuality Smitha so forcefully projected, we could sense the revolt of the female body she was unleashing in a society that was and still is in the grip of a moral double-bind: its inbuilt orthodoxy despising a woman like her; but its suppressed and voluminous lust greedily devouring her. She showed them her body and dared them to see and face it. It was not as if she had scripted the challenge. It was not as if the celluloid had designed a confrontation. It was the way she made her body available to the celluloid that made up the challenge.
Her body was her message. With cold dispassion she placed her body on show knowing fully well the passions it fired in millions of men. She was meeting their secret and shameful need to fantasize in a way that mocked and challenged the hypocrisy that produced it.
