Chennai: The South Indian movie music world shared the grief of noted playback singer K.S. Chithra, who lost her eight-year-old daughter in a swimming pool accident in Dubai on Thursday.
"The family came back from Dubai on Friday morning and the funeral was held in the evening," said Chithra's manager Krishna Kutty Menon.
Chithra had been to Dubai along with her family 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 Chithra and Vijayashankar in 2002, 15 years after their marriage.
A devotee of Hindu God Krishna, Chithra 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. Chithra is such a humble person. Despite winning several awards and being a celebrity she does not have any airs," a media professional told IANS.
Playback singers S P Balasubramaniam, P Susheela, Janaki, Mano and many others visited Chithra's home to pay their condolences.
