Kantamaneni Uma Maheswari, daughter of legendary Telugu actor and former CM NT Rama Rao (NTR), allegedly died by suicide at her residence here on Monday, the police said. She was 57.
Citing preliminary findings, the police said ill-health and depression were suspected to be the reasons for her allegedly taking the extreme step.
