A day after Nandamuri Harikrishna's death in a road accident, the Telugu film industry received another shock.
Journalist-turned-director B Jaya, popular for films like Chantigadu and Lovely, passed away at a Hyderabad hospital.
Jaya, 54, suffered from cardiac disease and is survived by her husband B A Raju, a journalist.
She made her directorial debut with Chantigadu, starring Baladitya and Suhasini.
Apart from Chantigadu and Lovely, Jaya also made Premikulu, Saval, Gundamma Gari Manavadu and Vaishakam.
