Actress Pawala Shyamala Attempts Suicide, Rescued By Cops
The mother-daughter pair was rescued by the police, who intervened promptly and shifted them to a local charitable home for shelter, food, and basic care
Veteran Telugu actress Pavala Shyamala, known for performances in over 250 films, is facing a dire situation. Struggling with severe health issues and financial woes, Shyamala and her daughter were reportedly asked to leave their stay facility despite their critical condition. With no income or medical support, the duo was left vulnerable on the streets, leading to a tragic attempt to end their lives.
The mother-daughter pair was rescued by the police, who intervened promptly and shifted them to a local charitable home for shelter, food, and basic care. This heartbreaking incident has sparked outrage and concern, with fans and the public questioning the lack of support from the Telugu film industry, given Shyamala's significant contributions.
Shyamala, known for memorable roles in Khadgam, Andhrawala, and Golimaar, has acted in multiple films and earned accolades for her powerful portrayals. Her plight underscores the challenges faced by aging artists lacking financial security and social support. In the past, she received help from actors like Pawan Kalyan and the Telangana government, including a monthly pension of ₹10,000.
The incident has prompted calls for immediate action from film organisations, philanthropic groups, and the government.
