Indira’s daughter Manjula Ghattamaneni took to her Instagram handle on Wednesday and shared a picture of her mother along with a note which read, “Dear Mom, You are my first Guru, my foundation and my heart. Your love has been my protection. You are the biggest influence in my life. My mom knew only giving, giving, giving all through her life and did not ask anything for herself. There has not been a single day in our childhood where we missed her presence. She took care of all our needs in her usual selfless loving way.”
