Veteran actress Kanaka has lost her father, SS Devadas, at 89, intensifying her long-standing solitude. Once a leading star, her life has been marked by personal tragedies, including her mother’s death and a brief, failed marriage. This loss leaves her with no immediate family, a deeply concerning situation for fans and the industry.

Kanaka, who shone in the 80s and 90s as one of the leading heroines of Tamil cinema, had struggled with loneliness for a long time in her life. After the death of her mother Devika, her father SS Devadas, who had said, “She is my only relationship in life,” has now disappeared, leaving Kanaka completely without a single source of support. No one thought that life would bring so much pain to Kanaka, who became a superstar through ‘Karakattakaran’. Raised with his mother’s endless love, she had been living in isolation since his mother’s death in 2002, her mental world shattered.

Kanaka’s father’s passing opens old wounds

As per News 18, Kanaka’s father SS Devadas died at the age of 89 due to ill health. Earlier, in a YouTube interview a year back, SS Devadas had said, “I wanted to live together, but circumstances separated us. I didn’t approve of Kanaka’s acting, I said she should study. I was angry because she chose acting and never even watched her films. But even though I am 88 years old today, if she comes, I am ready to save her,” he said passionately. That conversation showed how many unhealed wounds there were in Kanaka’s life.

Shocking turns in Kanaka’s personal life

The question of when Kanaka’s life would get back to normal has been a long-standing one among fans. The actress, who suddenly left cinema at the age of 26, was reported to have married an engineer from California in 2007. But her 2010 interview, which said, “Her husband disappeared 15 days after the wedding,” shocked everyone. Later, even when the rumor that ‘Kanaka is dead’ spread, it was reported that she was living alone. Fans were heartbroken when they saw her so changed that they were unrecognizable even in the photo taken by Kutty Padmini.

Kanaka’s solitude becomes one of Tamil cinema’s most heartbreaking realities

Now that she has lost her father, the film industry and fans are very concerned about Kanaka’s condition. This famous actress, who once acted with leading heroes from Rajinikanth to Mammootty, is now completely isolated from the world and struggling in solitude, becoming one of the most painful stories in Tamil cinema.
