THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Noted violinist Balabhaskar is no more. Relatives and friens are not yet able to accept the news of his demise.

Balabhaskar’s marriage was love marriage. He married Lakshmi, his college mate from University College. Balabhaskar had told Kaumudi TV about their wedding in an interview several days ago.

“I married Lakshmi when I was 22 years old. Lakshmi’s family was not interested in the affair. I went to her house with my tuition master seeking their permission for the marriage, but I could not reveal to them that I was Balabhaskar”, said Balabhaskar in the interview.
