Thiruvananthapuram: The condition of popular Kerala musician and violinist Balabhaskar, who was seriously injured along with his wife in a road accident earlier this week, was still critical, a senior doctor said here on Friday.
"He continues to be on ventilator and his condition is still critical. We are all hoping that things will be better soon," the doctor told IANS.
The accident took place on Tuesday at Pallipuram on the outskirts of the capital city when the couple was driving back from Thrissur after a temple visit.
The driver of the car dozed off ramming the speeding vehicle on a tree.
Their two-year-old daughter Tejaswini Bala, who died in the crash, was cremated here on Thursday.
The child, unconscious when the Highway patrol extricated her from the car, was sitting on the front seat along with Balabaskar.
The musician's wife and the driver were recovering, according to the doctor.
Since the accident, video clips of his performances were being shared on social media by his fans.
The musician shot to fame when, as a 17-year-old, he composed music for a Malayalam film. He has also scored music for several films.
