Having sung over 40,000 songs across various languages including Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada, and Hindi, she is currently leading a retired life.
Tragedy has struck her family as her only son, Murali Krishna, passed away early this morning.
Born in Guntur, Andhra Pradesh, S. Janaki moved to Chennai after beginning her playback singing career. She was married to Ram Prasad, and the couple had one son, Murali Krishna. Notably, Murali Krishna had also acted in a few films.
He was married to Uma, a popular dancer from Chennai, and the couple has two daughters. However, due to mutual differences, Murali and Uma eventually divorced. Uma has since overseen the marriage of both their daughters.
Following the divorce, Murali Krishna had been living with his mother, S. Janaki, in Hyderabad. According to reports, he suffered a sudden heart attack early this morning, which led to his untimely demise.
