Chinmayi Sripaada?@ChinmayiThoughts with Violinist Bala Bhaskar’s wife.
The family was involved in a terrible road accident, they lost their child and now BalaBhaskar’s passing is a huge loss to music.
The accident took place when the family was returning from a temple in Thrissur. They visited the temple for seeking blessings of the God for their daughter named Tejaswini Bala. According to sources close to family members, she was born after 15 years of marriage.
A 40-year-old Balabhaskar’s wife Lakshmi and the driver are still recovering in hospital.
The case was registered under Mangalapuram police station. After the accident, Thejaswini was bleeding from her nose and was unconscious when she was taken off the mangled car, police said.
Elaborating on the accident, Mangalapuram SIJ Ajayan said the car had crossed the National Highway and rammed the tree that was on the other side of the road. We presume that the driver might have nodded off.
The couple’s daughter was declared brought dead in the hospital. The last rites will take place in Thiruvananthapuram. To pay the last tributes, his body will be kept at Thiruvananthapuram college.
After the accident, fans started sharing several video clips of his performances on social media.
The noted singer-violinist musician gained his popularity when a 17-year-old, composed music for a Malayalam film and scored music for several films.
He was also a part of the band called ‘Balaleela’ and performed in Kerala and outside. He was also honoured with Bismillah Khan Yuva Sangeetkaar Puraskaar in 2008 by Kendra Sangeet Natak Academy for Instrumental Music (violin).
