Actress
Bhavana's
father
Balachandran
passed
away.
The
59-year-old
was
rushed
to
the
hospital
immediately,
early
in
the
morning
following
high
blood
pressure;
but
his
life
could
not
be
saved.
Balachandran
was
a
photographer
by
profession.
All
of
his
close
family
members,
including
Bhavana
were
by
his
side
at
the
time
of
death.
Balachandran
is
survived
by
wife
Pushpa,
son
Jayadev,
daughter
Bhavana,
and
daughter-in-law
Vinaya.
The
funeral
will
be
held
at
Paramekkavu
Shathighat
crematorium,
Thrissur
at
3.30
pm,
today.
According
to
the
latest
reports,
some
eminent
personalities
from
the
film
industry
and
politics
will
attend
the
funeral.
Bhavana
has
always
stated
that
she
is
attached
to
her
father
more
than
anyone
else.
Her
father
was
the
prime
reason
for
her
entry
into
the
dance
field
and
cinema.
He
was
the
one
who
noticed
her
interests
in
acting
and
dance.
The
actress
decided
to
try
her
luck
in
films
upon
the
insistence
of
her
father,
who
was
highly
passionate
about
cinema.
Balachandran
actually
aspired
to
send
his
daughter
to
Kerala
Kalamandalam
for
studies;
but
she
opted
for
a
film
career.
Bhavana,
who
made
acting
debut
with
Kamal
directed
Nammal,
is
one
of
the
most
sought
after
actresses
of
the
industry
today.
She
is
reportedly
all
set
to
tie
the
knot
with
her
producer
boyfriend
by
the
end
of
this
year.
