Chennai: Tamil, Telugu actress Bhavana Menon’s father Balachandran has passed away yesterday and everyone prayed that his soul may rest in peace.

Karthika Menon is famous by her cinematic name Bhavana. She is a famous Malayalam actress. She predominantly has acted in Tamil, Telugu and Malayalam cinemas. The actress never had any releases in Tamil in recent times. She was last seen in 2010 with the movie ‘Aasal’.

The actress was in USA for a long time for shooting ‘Ivide’. The actress right now stays idle at home and now she faces a shock as her father Balachandran who is 59 years old kicked the bucket yesterday (September 24th) following a surge in blood pressure.

From close sources we hear that, he was immediately taken to nearby hospital and doctors confirmed he passed away. Despite immediate attention he was unable to be saved. Actress Bhavana was also seen in the Hospital when her father was admitted.

The last rights were paid at the hospital and the funeral took place immediately by 3:30 pm yesterday at Santhighat crematorium in Paramekkavu. It has to be noted that Balachandran himself was a professional photographer and he was the main reason behind Bhavana’s cinema career.

He took lots of photos and made a portfolio for his daughter and that helped Bhavana to get inside cinema. Bhavana was also ready to tie knot with her Producer Boyfriend later this year. On behalf of our team, we pray for Balchandran’s soul to rest in peace.
