KS Chitra said she never thought she would be able to return to the playback singing scene. In an interview to Behind Woods, Chitra said that when she left the singing world after her daughter’s death, many people helped her to come back.
‘I never thought I could come back. Many people I didn’t know would send prasad to my house for days. Many people supported me. I am very grateful to those who have helped me to come back.
What I learned with my daughter’s death is that whatever comes comes, but God gives us the courage to overcome these situations and when I am alone like this, I also worry about the lives of those who m scope.
Vijayettan (partner) even quit his job and stayed with me. I have a studio. There are many people working there. These are the reasons I came back,’ says Chitra.
Chitra said that her family was against her becoming a singer and she has never gone to a show or a recording without at least one person close to her.
‘The biggest fight I got from my mother was because of my laughter. I smile when someone looks at my face. Such is my nature. My mother always told me not to laugh at strangers.
When a girl smiles at everyone like that, people would interpret it the wrong way and get a bad name. Because my mother told me to do that, I used to smile at anyone for all the stage shows at the beginning of my career.
I was brought up very strictly. My mother was very opposed to me becoming a playback singer. My mother was afraid to let me go into the film industry where I had no experience. My father gave me courage.
I’ve never been to a show or a recording without my mum or dad or someone close to me. I always have someone close to me if I ever get scared. There was some peace after the marriage, says Chitra.
