Singer Kalpana Raghavendar appeared to be recovering well in a video shared with the media on Friday. In her first comments regarding her hospitalization and the speculation surrounding a suicide attempt, she refuted claims that any discord with her husband or daughter contributed to her overdose on sleeping pills.

Kalpana Raghavendar denies family rift

Kalpana addressed the media through two videos in Telugu and Tamil, clarifying that her recent overdose on medication was a result of work-related stress rather than personal issues. She stated, “I am creating this video to dispel a rumour regarding my relationship with my husband. At 45 years old, I am pursuing a PhD and studying LLB, encouraged by my husband. In terms of my music career, I am striving to evolve and explore various concert formats. The stress from these commitments has affected my sleep.”

The singer further acknowledged that she had taken an excessive amount of medication prescribed for her insomnia, which led to her losing consciousness. She expressed gratitude towards her husband for his efforts in ensuring her safety, remarking, “If I am here today, it is solely due to my husband. He sought assistance from the police and the media at a crucial moment. Please disregard any rumours suggesting I have personal problems. My husband, Prasad Prabhakar, is the greatest blessing in my life, and I am truly grateful for him. Additionally, my daughter, Daya Prasad, is another source of joy.”

In concluding the video, she reaffirmed her happiness in her personal life, emphasizing that it was unrelated to her accidental overdose: “I lead a very fulfilling life. This is merely a temporary health challenge, but I eagerly anticipate returning to entertain you all.”

What happened

Prasad, Kalpana's husband, reached out to their neighbors in Hyderabad after she failed to respond to his calls. When she did not reply to the neighbors either, they decided to contact the police for a welfare check. Upon their arrival, the police discovered Kalpana unconscious on Tuesday and promptly transported her to the hospital. Although there were initial suspicions of a suicide attempt, PTI reported that Kalpana informed the police she had not intended to take her life; rather, she had ingested a large quantity of sleeping pills due to her ongoing struggle with insomnia.

Kalpana revealed that she had arrived in Hyderabad from Ernakulam on March 4. In her attempt to find rest, she first took eight sleeping pills and subsequently consumed an additional ten, which led to her loss of consciousness. Additionally, she had experienced a disagreement with her daughter regarding the latter's relocation to Hyderabad for educational purposes. Daya, her daughter, also addressed the media on Wednesday to clarify the situation.
