Tragic
Passing
Of
Spandana
Vijay
Raghavendra:
In
a
heartbreaking
turn
of
events,
Spandana
Vijay
Raghavendra,
the
beloved
spouse
of
renowned
Kannada
actor
Vijaya
Raghavendra,
has
tragically
passed
away
in
Bangkok
due
to
a
sudden
heart
attack.
Spandana
was
the
daughter
of
retired
ACP
BK
Shivaram,
a
distinguished
figure
in
Karnataka's
police
force
known
for
his
work
in
crime
investigation
and
the
authorship
of
crime-related
books.
Hailing
from
Bangalore
and
being
the
daughter
of
the
esteemed
former
police
officer
BK
Shivaram,
Spandana
married
actor
Vijay
Raghavendra
in
2007.
Beyond
her
role
as
a
wife,
she
shone
in
the
film
industry,
starring
in
the
2016
movie
"Apoorva"
alongside
Ravichandran.
She
also
exhibited
her
talents
as
a
producer
for
some
of
Vijay
Raghavendra's
projects.
The
actor's
family
and
friends
are
currently
coordinating
the
repatriation
of
Spandana's
mortal
remains
to
Bangalore
for
her
final
rites,
where
her
untimely
departure
will
be
solemnly
acknowledged.
Spandana's
father
has
already
left
for
Bangkok,
and
her
mortal
remains
are
anticipated
to
be
returned
to
India
on
Tuesday.
Love's
Tale
Remembered
Spandana
and
Vijay
Raghavendra's
marriage
is
a
blend
of
love
and
arrangement.
Vijay's
heart
was
captured
by
Spandana
at
their
very
first
meeting.
The
two
took
the
time
to
understand
each
other
before
involving
their
families
in
their
journey.
In
2007,
they
formalised
their
bond
through
marriage.
This
couple
quickly
became
one
of
the
most
celebrated
pairs
in
the
Sandalwood
industry,
setting
a
high
standard
for
romantic
connections.
Their
endearing
pictures,
which
flooded
the
internet,
caught
the
eyes
of
their
fans,
showcasing
them
as
an
absolutely
adorable
pair.
Spandana
and
her
husband,
actor
Vijay
Raghavendra,
were
on
the
verge
of
marking
their
16th
wedding
anniversary
in
a
mere
19
days.
Sadly,
fate
had
other
plans
as
Spandana
passed
away.
Vijay
Raghavendra
was
born
into
the
family
of
S.
A.
Chinne
Gowda,
a
prominent
Indian
film
producer
and
distributor
in
the
Kannada
film
industry,
and
his
wife
Jayamma.
He
shares
a
cousinship
with
Puneeth
Rajkumar,
Shiva
Rajkumar,
and
Raghavendra
Rajkumar.
Adding
to
the
creative
legacy,
his
younger
brother,
Sriimurali,
is
also
an
actor
in
the
Kannada
film
industry.
In
a
heartbreaking
coincidence,
Puneeth
Rajkumar,
a
celebrated
Kannada
actor
and
Vijay's
cousin,
also
lost
his
life
to
a
heart
attack
in
October
2021.
The
family
is
now
grappling
with
yet
another
significant
loss,
while
their
close
friends
and
well-wishers
are
extending
heartfelt
condolences
to
support
them
through
this
challenging
period.
