Sakunthalamma had 8 children, 3 sons, and 5 daughters. She was married to SP Sambamurthy who was a Harikatha artist. Apparently, it was Sakunthalamma who encouraged SP Balasubramanyam to become a singer.




A statue for SP Balasubramanyam’s father SP Sambamurthy was erected in Nellore district a few years back. That was one the last public appearance that Sakunthalamma made in the recent past.

We express our deepest condolences to SP Balasubramanyam and his family.
