''She died this morning in Mumbai at home. She was undergoing treatment for her condition for about six months,'' Madeira, who is also a singer, told PTI.
Madeira initially shared the news of her mother's demise on her Instagram account.
''With great sadness, my brother Shammi Rajan and I announce the passing this morning of our beloved mother, playback singer Sharda Rajan, after a long and brave battle with cancer. 25.10.1933 - 14.06.2023. Om Shanti,'' she said in the post.
Sharda, whose full name was Sharda Rajan, was most active in the 1960s and 1970s in the Hindi film music industry.
Her most famous number was perhaps ''Titli Udi'' from ''Suraj'', the 1966 film directed by T Prakash Rao. Composed by Shankar-Jaikishan, the song was picturised on actor Vyjayanthimala.
Sharda also won the Filmfare Award for Best Female Playback Singer for the cabaret track ''Baat Zara Hai Aapas Ki'', featuring Helen, in ''Jahan Pyar Miley'' (1970). Her other song credits include ''Le Ja Le Ja Le Ja Mera Dil'' (''An Evening In Paris''), ''Aa Aayega Kaun Yahan'' (''Gumnaam''), ''Masti Aur Jawani Ho Umar Badi Mastani Ho'' (''Dil Daulat Duniya''), and ''Tum Pyar Se Dekho'' (''Sapnon Ka Saudagar'').
