The first lady of Sandalwood Parvathamma Rajkumar is no more. She passed away early this morning at a hospital in Bengaluru. Her late husband Dr. Rajkumar, the legend of Kannada cinema, had passed away in 2006. A gritty lady and woman of substance, Parvathamma held her family together passing through many trials and tribulations. She also went on to become a successful film producer, featuring her husband Rajkumar and her three sons Shivrajkumar, Raghavendra Rajkumar and Puneeth Rajkumar. She has produced more than 80 films under the banner of Vajreshwari Combines or Poornima Enterprises.
