Actor Kalaranjini Recalls Losing Voice Due to Makeup Artist's Mistake on Film Set
Veteran actor Kalaranjini lost her voice during a film shoot decades ago after consuming fake blood mistakenly prepared with acid instead of coconut oil. The incident caused severe throat burns and required months of treatment, permanently affecting her voice. Despite the impact, she does not blame the makeup artist KV Bhaskar, describing it as an unintentional mistake. Kalaranjini later helped Bhaskar in his final days, maintaining a good relationship with his family. She continues to work despite the lasting effects.
