The news of Kanaka’s death, which came
out about a week ago, would have shocked us all. However, the quick
action of the press, revealed that the actress is still hale and
healthy. In a recent interview, Kanaka expressed her views about the
news.
‘A few of my friends called me up and told me that
the press had released news that I had cancer. I did not take the news
seriously. But when I heard the news of my death, I was shocked. The
people do not know how I look right now. I think they would have seen
someone else who looked just like me and would have spread the news. I
would like to inform the people that I do not have cancer and that I am
perfectly healthy by God’s grace.’
Kanaka also spoke about her mother, Devika, who was also an actress during the black and white ages.
‘I am an exact replica of my mother. My mother has also asked me to
keep away from controversies. She has asked me not to create bad name
for others or for myself. I am trying my best to live up to her
expectations. I have never crossed the boundaries set by my mother.’
The actress answered a few lighter questions expressing her love for
animals and told about the long list of pets she has at home. She is
fond of pets and apparently has a dog, a few cats, a squirrel, love
birds and a rabbit at home.
The actress made her debut in
the movie ‘Karakattakaran’, which was a blockbuster that featured
Ramarajan in the lead. She acted in numerous other Tamil, Malayalam and
Telugu movies starring with actors like Rajinikanth, Prabhu, Karthik,
SarathKumar and Vijaykanth.
