Famous playback singer Chitra's 8-year-old daughter Nandana expired drowning in a swimming pool today morning. Chitra is in Dubai with her singing troupe and family members on an official tour in Arab Emirates. According to sources,"They are residing in a villa at Emirate Hills. The young girl who was playing besides the swimming pool fell into it and drowned away. Somebody besides them immediately pulled Nandana out from water and rushed to a hospital in Jebel Ali. By then it was all over as she is already dead".
Chitra had been to Dubai alongwith her family to perform in A.R. Rahman's music show and was staying in a villa there when the accident happened.
Nadana, a differently-abled child, fell into the pool while playing.
She was born to Chitra and Vijayashankar in 2002, 15 years after their marriage.
A devotee of Hindu god Krishna, Chitra had named her daughter after she got an award from the Kerala government for her song in the Malayalam movie "Nandanam".
"It is very sad to hear. Chitra is such a humble person. Despite winning several awards and being a celebrity she does not have any airs," a media professional told IANS.
Playback singers S.P. Balasubramaniam, P. Susheela, Janaki, Mano and many others visited Chitra's home to pay their condolences.
