Daughter Shrimayi has entered the acting field following Kalpana's path. In an interview with a Tamil media, Srimayi's words about her mother are now going viral. The star's words are, I was not that close with Meenu (Kalpana). Closeness with grandmother. He was with them since birth. Meenu went shooting within three months of my birth. Trusting my grandmother, I was handed over to her. Meenu acted as a pregnant woman for 9 months. Their world is cinema. I don't like staying at home. I don't know what else to do. The fish was in pain of death. But I had a great support system with me.
I don't feel like I don't have fish because my relatives are with me. My grandmother raised me like her daughter. There would be pain, but they didn't let it affect them deeply. Srimayi stated that she was studying in class 11 when her mother died. I was shocked to hear the news of his death. Shrimayi stated that she and her family still think that her mother went for shooting. Srimayi says that during her childhood she called her mother, sisters Urvashi and Kala Ranjini as Chechi, but many people asked what she called Chechi. With that, they started calling them Karthu, Meenu and Podiyamma. We were like sisters. Shrimayi clarified that we saw Grandmother as mother and called her mother. After Minu's death, Karthu and Podiyamma stepped in as mother figures. Especially Karthu stood by me for everything. I used to see Meenu, Karthu and Podiyamma for a week at most in a month. Can't see above it. Because they have to play their role. There is no one else. They realized at an early age that they are busy.
