Sulochana (Sanskrit: , lit. she whose eyes are beautiful) was the daughter of the king of the serpents Sheshanaga, who is mentioned in the Indian epic Ramayana. She was married to Indrajit (Meghanada) who was the eldest son of demon king Ravana, who defeated Indra, hence received his title.
In the ballad Meghnad Bodh Kavya, Prameela is said to be Indrajit's wife. So, it can reasonably be assumed that Sulochana was also known as Prameela.
Sulochana was very brave and exhibited this virtue when the Indrajit, her husband, was going to war with Rama and his younger brother Lakshmana, she supported her husband by not crying and never stopped or requested to not to go to war.[clarification needed]
Though it is neither written in Valmiki Ramayana nor Tulasi Ramayana(written in the 15th century A.D) i.e. Sri Ramacharit Manas whereas it is mentioned Telugu version of Ramayana(written in the 14th century A.D) byGona Budda Reddy and a later Ananda Ramayana, some scholars say that after the death of Indrajit did Sati with her husband's funeral pyre, while doing so she consoled her children by saying they will be safe in the hands of Vibhishana, thus predicting the death of Ravana.
Her story has been the base of many films, including Sati Sulochana (1921) directed by G.V. Sane. a silent film, followed by Sati Sulochana, the 1934 Kannada film was the first Kannada language talkie film, also Sati Sulochana in Telugu starring N. T. Rama Rao.
"The Ballad of Sulochana" is a favourite ballad of Marathi women, sung in most families. Noted Tamil scholar S. K. Ramarajan wrote a noted epyllion, "Meganadham", the tragedy of Indrajit, known for its characterisation of Indrajit's wife Sulochana.

Wow, that's interesting! But I too heard Suloachana was the daughter of Vasuka and not Adi Sesha.But whether she was the daughter of Vasuki or Sesha, we know for sure that there was some connection/relationship between Lakshman and Meghnad/Sulochana.It's kind of sad that Lakshman had to kill his son-in-law just because he was on adharma's side.
Originally posted by: ..RamKiJanaki..My favorite Meghnad-Sulochana of all mythos were from RS Ramayan. Their relationship was portrayed so well in that show. ASR's was cute too but RSR's was better. RSR showed Meghnad so loving towards Sulochana, and Sulochana supportive of him.

Poor Sulochana , If they show in this serial that she comes to know about the divine form of Lakshman ,Just think , She is bound to loose whoever wins , If her Husband emerges victorious , she looses a father figure , And if Lakshman Wins , she turns a widow

Yeah true, she did look quite old (though not more than Mandodari) but she had a sweet voice and acted well.
