Kalpana,
the
National
Award
winning
actress,
left
this
world
on
25th
January,
2016.
The
sudden
demise
of
the
super-talented
actress
has
surely
been
a
huge
shock
to
her
fans
and
the
movie
industry.
The
actress,
who
was
born
as
Kalpana
Priyadarshini,
to
the
popular
theatres
artists,
Chavara
VP
Nair
and
Vijayalakshmi.
Popular
actresses
Kalaranjini
and
Urvashi
are
her
sisters.
Interestingly,
Kalpana
began
her
career
as
the
leading
lady,
by
replacing
her
sister
Kalaranjini
in
K
Bhagyaraj's
blockbuster
movie
Chinna
Veedu,
at
the
age
of
20.
Here
are
some
rare
pictures
of
Kalpana
with
her
family
and
co-stars...
Even
though
she
was
familiar
to
the
audiences
through
her
roles
as
a
child
and
supporting
artist,
Chinna
Veedu
cemented
her
place
in
the
Southern
film
industry.
She
later
played
the
female
lead
in
several
films,
including
the
Kamal
Haasan
starrer
Sathi
Leelavathi.
But
among
the
Malayali
audiences,
Kalpana
was
always
famous
for
her
comical
appearances.
The
actress,
who
was
undoubtedly
the
one
and
only
female
comedian
who
managed
to
reach
Jagathy
Sreekumar's
stardom,
but
always
wanted
to
do
a
serious
role.
She
received
the
National
Award
for
Best
Supporting
Actress,
for
her
role
in
Thanichalla
Njan.
In
her
last
silver
screen
outing,
Charlie,
Kalpana
played
a
highly
intense
role,
unlike
her
usual
self.
We
are
quite
sure
that
Kalpana
was,
is,
and
always
will
be
an
irreplaceable
personality
in
our
industry.
But,
the
actress
she
will
always
remain
as
one
of
the
most
favourite
actresses
of
the
industry.
