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.
