Actor
Suriya
visited
Bengaluru's
Kanteerava
Studio
to
pay
his
last
respect
to
Puneeth
Rajkumar.
In
a
video
going
viral
on
social
media,
the
Sooorarai
Pottru
star
can
be
seen
crying
as
he
pays
homage
to
the
late
actor.
Puneeth's
elder
brother
and
Kannada
actor
Shiva
Rajkumar
was
also
spotted
consoling
Suriya.
Later
during
his
media
interaction,
Suriya
shared,
that
he
and
his
family
are
still
not
able
to
digest
the
news
of
Puneeth's
untimely
death.
He
said,
"It
was
unfair.
It
shouldn't
have
happened.
Can't
accept
what
has
happened.
My
family
and
Dr
Rajkumar's
family
are
very
close
and
are
fond
of
each
other.
Appa
(Sivakumar)
had
a
lot
of
memorable
times
with
their
family.
I
remember
my
mother
telling
me
that
Puneeth
and
I
first
met
when
our
mothers
were
pregnant.
My
mother
was
four
months
pregnant
with
me
and
Puneeth's
mother
was
seven
months
pregnant
with
him.
That's
the
moment
Amma
shared
with
me.
Even
my
family
cannot
accept
his
death.
In
every
picture
and
video,
he
would
have
this
smiling
face.
I
have
only
heard
about
all
the
wonderful
things
he
had
done
to
society
and
to
the
people
whom
he
really
loved.
We
will
hold
on
to
all
his
memories
and
keep
him
smiling
in
our
hearts.
We
will
not
let
go
of
that.
Further,
conveying
his
deepest
condolences
to
Puneeth's
family,
Suriya
added,
"I
only
pray
for
more
strength
to
his
family,
to
his
daughters,
anna
(Siva
Rajkumar),
entire
well-wishers,
all
the
Kannadigas,
and
all
the
lovely
people
who
gave
all
the
love
and
respect
when
Puneeth
was
leaving
us.
We
will
terribly
miss
him.
My
prayers
and
deepest
condolences
to
the
family."
Puneeth
breathed
his
last
on
October
29
in
Bengaluru
following
a
cardiac
arrest.
He
is
survived
by
his
wife
Ashwini
Revanth
and
daughters
Vandhitha
and
Drithi.
He
was
46.
Puneeth
was
laid
to
rest
near
his
father
Rajkumar's
memorial
in
Yeshwanthpur's
Kanteerava
Studio.
