Tragedy struck in 2004 when Soundarya, who was reportedly pregnant at the time, met with a fatal accident. She was traveling with her brother on April 17, 2004, from Bengaluru to Telangana to campaign for her political party. Unfortunately, their plane crashed, resulting in the untimely demise of both Soundarya and her brother. The news of her death sent shockwaves through the South Indian film fraternity and left her fans in mourning. Her passing was regarded as one of the most heartbreaking incidents in the industry.

However, after 21 years, a startling allegation surfaced, casting a shadow over her tragic demise. Chittimallu, a resident of Andhra Pradesh, filed a police complaint claiming that Soundarya's death was not an accident but a planned murder. The complaint alleged that actor Mohan Babu had shown interest in purchasing a six-acre guest house owned by Soundarya. However, her refusal to sell the property allegedly led to a conspiracy resulting in her death. The seriousness of this accusation against Mohan Babu, a respected figure in Telugu cinema, sent ripples across the industry, raising several questions and concerns.

In response to these allegations, Soundarya’s husband, Raghu, issued a strong clarification. Dismissing the rumors, he stated, "False information about Mohan Babu and Soundarya's property in Hyderabad has been circulating. I categorically deny these baseless claims. Mohan Babu sir did not unlawfully acquire any property from my wife. To my knowledge, we have never engaged in any land transactions with him. I have known Mohan Babu for 25 years and share a friendly bond with him. We are like family. I request everyone to refrain from spreading false information and to bring an end to this unfounded speculation."
