Manjula
Gururaj(Playback
Singer)
"I
am
deeply
hurt
after
hearing
the
news
this
morning.
She
was
my
mentor
and
philosophical
idol.
She
is
the
sole
reason
for
the
success
that
I
have
seen.
She
was
the
main
motivation
for
female
empowerment
in
our
state.
May
her
soul
rest
in
peace."
Shrinath(Actor)
"She
was
our
'Amma'.
For
me,
she
was
like
a
sister-in-law
and
a
mother
to
me.
She
has
guided
me
for
more
than
50
years.
She
used
to
give
us
advices
for
our
own
good.
She
wanted
the
best
for
everybody.
Now
she
is
no
more,
a
news
that
is
indigestible
to
me.
I
am
indebted
to
her
for
looking
after
all
of
us
like
a
mother.
May
her
soul
rest
in
peace."
Mukhyamantri
Chandru(Actor)
"I
am
in
grief.
She
was
the
motivation
behind
Dr.
Rajkumar
and
a
motherly
figure
to
all
of
us
in
the
Kannada
Film
Industry.
She
has
served
us
food
countless
number
of
times
as
if
we
were
her
own
children.
May
God
give
us
all
strength
to
bear
this
anguish."
Prema(Actress)
"I
debuted
in
a
film
produced
by
Vajreshwari
Combines.
It
was
Parvathamma
Rajkumar
who
made
me
the
actress.
I
owe
my
success
to
her.
She
instilled
courage
in
me
and
taught
me
skills
that
I
needed
to
survive
in
the
industry.
I
was
very
happy
to
hear
that
she
was
recovering
a
few
days
ago.
But
now,
she
is
no
more.
This
has
saddened
me
deeply."
Sa.
Ra.
Govindu(President,
KFCC)
"She
fought
for
her
life
in
the
hospital,
but,
in
vain.
I
knew
her
for
more
than
35
years.
I
dedicate
the
success
in
my
life
to
her.
If
I
am
a
known
figure
today,
it
is
just
because
of
her.
On
account
of
her
death,
all
cinema
production
work
and
shooting
have
been
instructed
to
halt.
Also,
we
have
requested
the
theatres
not
to
run
the
cinema
halls
for
today
as
a
mark
of
respect
to
the
departed."
