“The family came back from Dubai this (Friday) morning and the funeral was held in the evening,” Chitra’s manager Krishna Kutty Menon said.
Chitra had been to Dubai along to perform in A R Rahman’s music show and was staying in a villa there when the accident happened.
Nadana, a differently abled child, fell into the pool while playing. She was born to Chitra and Vijayashankar in 2002, 15 years after their marriage. A devotee of god Krishna, Chitra had named her daughter after she got an award from the Kerala government for her song in the Malayalam movie Nandanam.
“It is very sad to hear. Chitra is such a humble person. Despite winning several awards and being a celebrity she does not have any airs,” a media professional said. Singers S P Balasubramaniam, P Susheela, Janaki, Mano and others visited Chitra’s home to pay their condolences.
