Veteran actress Jayaprada’s mother Neelaveni passes away in Hyderabad

Jayaprada’s mother Neelaveni reportedly passed away today morning in Hyderabad. She had reportedly been suffering from age-related ailments for the past few weeks and died at a private hospital in Hyderabad today.

Jayaprada

who was reportedly in Delhi has rushed to Hyderabad to attend the last rites of her dear mother.

Jayaprada completed her primary school in Telugu medium

Rajamundry

and as a teenager, she was trained in various other art forms before making her entry into films. Jayaprada is undoubtedly one of the legendary and most iconic actresses we had from

Tollywood

. She had been the highest-paid actress in the 1970s and ’80s who starred in several Indian language film industries.

Her mother Neelaveni reportedly played an important role by planning and encouraging Jayaprada’s film career. Jayaprada is reportedly very close to her mom not just after attaining stardom but right from childhood. Jayaprada also tried to introduce her son into the films sometime back.

Our heartfelt condolences to the bereaved family.
