These were the years when many celebrities left us from the cinema and television scene. Very sad news for the Malayali audience. Now, in a similar way, a news that brings sadness to the Malayali audience is gaining attention in a big way.
The news about the health condition of veteran actress Kankalatha is hurting everyone. Her sister Vijayamma has informed that the actress is suffering from Parkinson’s and dementia. During an interview, they shared about the current condition of Kankalatha.
Health problems were bothering them for many years. However, it wasn’t long before dementia was confirmed. He took a break from films due to health problems. It was thought that he would be able to work actively when he recovered, but by then, dementia had overtaken him.
About the disease…
The disease first showed its presence in the form of insomnia. It was confirmed to be dementia (also called amnesia) when it was consulted. Dementia is a condition in which the brain shrinks and functions are limited – mainly memory loss.
Not just forgetfulness, many brain functions are affected in dementia patients. Along with memory, many areas are affected, such as movement, speech, thinking, and decision making.
Parkinson’s disease is the first to cause athletic difficulties. Especially things like movement and speech. Brain-related problems come later. It gradually worsens and leads to dementia. With dementia, forgetfulness is almost complete. A state of being like little children, unable to remember names, places, time, relationships.
Vijayamma’s words indicate that Kanakalata is at this stage. They behave like children. Can’t even remember to drink water or eat food. Liquid food is given. Primary duties are performed with the help of diapers. Vijayamma says that if you look too thin, you will not even be able to recognize the person.
Malayali’s favorite actress…
Kankalatha was divorced from her husband earlier. No children. It was Vijayamma who was with them for a long time. Kanakalata is getting help from various organizations including film companies. However, after the news that the health condition is at this level, many people are conveying their love and prayers through social media.
Kanakalatha has acted in many films, albeit in small roles. Kanakalata is also very well known to most Malayalis as it has been seen on the big screen and mini screen for a long time. That’s why many people share their grief when the news of Kanakalata comes out.
