In his last days, Panchamda was made isolated by Media.. No one even care to visit him..only after he passed away, people and media started to react with shock.. So comments are available on Roja.. But Panchamda was lively man..Had he'been alive he would have danced with joy hearing Oscar news..he was said to be very humble and encouraging to youngsters..[unlike some so- called musicians who are targetting ARR just for their own publicity]
