Reports indicate that she was found unconscious after purportedly consuming sleeping pills and was promptly taken to a private hospital. She is currently stable but remains on ventilator support.
Concerns arose when Kalpana did not respond for two days, prompting the apartment security to alert neighbors. Authorities were then contacted, leading to her emergency hospitalization. At the time of the incident, her husband was in Chennai but has since traveled to Hyderabad.
Kalpana Raghavendar, daughter of noted playback singer T.S. Raghavendra, began her musical career at the age of five. She gained prominence after winning the Star Singer Malayalam title in 2010 and has collaborated with esteemed composers like Ilaiyaraaja and A.R. Rahman. Throughout her career, she has recorded over 1,500 songs across multiple languages and made a cameo appearance in the film “Punnagai Mannan.”
