The
veteran
actor
and
former
Union
minister
Ambareesh
passed
away
on
Saturday(November
24,
2018)
at
a
private
hospital
and
this
left
his
fans
in
a
state
of
shock.
After
the
sad
demise,
his
fans
demanded
that
he
be
laid
to
rest
in
his
native
Mandya
while
his
family
members
insisted
on
the
funeral
taking
place
in
Bengarulu.
Amidst
all
this
controversy,
the
Karnataka
CM
and
JDS
leader
HD
Kumaraswamy
made
it
clear
that
the
funeral
would
take
place
on
November
26,
2018
in
Bengaluru
with
state
honours.
Thereafter,
the
body
was
taken
Mandya
and
fans
were
allowed
to
pay
their
last
respects
to
the
'Rebel
Star'.
Now,
the
latest
update
is
that
some
people
from
Mandya
are
unhappy
with
the
actress-turned-politician
Ramya
for
not
coming
to
Mandya
to
honour
Ambi.
Interestingly,
Ramya
had
tweeted
her
condolences
to
Ambi's
family
after
his
death.
However,
most
people
in
Mandya
feel
that
merely
sending
out
a
tweet
is
not
enough.
In
case
you
did
not
know,
Ramya
is
a
former
MP
from
Mandya.
She
had
entered
the
Parliament
in
2013
by
winning
a
bypoll.
In
the
2014
General
Elections,
she
had
contested
from
the
same
constituency
again
but
lost.
Regardless
of
this
controversy,
Ambareesh's
death
is
a
big
blow
for
Kannada
cinema
and
we
hope
that
his
family
members
stay
strong
in
this
difficult
time.
