The family confirmed about the funeral ceremonies, saying, "Her last rites will be a private, family affair. We trust that all who have known the ache of losing a parent or a beloved elder will respect our wish to grieve quietly, honouring her memory with the same equanimity, dignity, and gentle strength she showed us every single day of her life."
The two have a long history in Tamil cinema and appeared together in the 1995 film Rajavin Parvaiyile.
