Music legend Ilaiyaraaja has shared his personal reason for not attending funerals. He finds it difficult to see people after they have passed away, preferring instead to cherish memories of them during their lives.
Ilaiyaraaja’s explanation came after the death of veteran guitarist Sadanandam, who was a close associate for over 40 years. Sadanandam played lead guitar in Ilaiyaraaja's orchestra and was the son of composer R. Sudarsanam. The two musicians collaborated on numerous films in their early careers.
By avoiding funeral services, Ilaiyaraaja keeps his focus on the positive relationships and happy moments shared with his friends and colleagues, rather than their last moments. This reflects his deep emotional bond with those who contributed to his musical journey.
