Last
night,
Telugu
actor,
politician
and
actor
Mahesh
Babu's
father
Krishna
Ghattamaneni
died
due
to
cardiac
arrest.
Condoling
the
sudden
demise
of
the
actor-politician-producer
Krishna,
many
celebrities
from
Kollywood
have
expressed
grief
in
social
media.
Super
star
Rajinikanth
was
one
of
the
firsts
to
share
his
condolence
message
in
his
official
twitter
handle.
His
tweet
read
" The

i
will
always
cherish.
My
heartfelt
condolences

@urstrulymahesh"
For
the
unversed
Rajinikanth
has
shared
screenspace
in
three
movies
namely
'Ram
Robert
Rahim',
'Anna
Dammula
Saval'
and
'Iddaru
Asadhyule'.
Actor
Kamal
Haasan
who
is
likely
to
be
contemporary
to
Krishna's
era
also
said
that
he
shares
the
loss
of
actor
Mahesh
Babu's
dad.
He
tweeted,
"
An
icon
of
Telugu
cinema
Krishna
gaaru
is
no
more,
an
era
ends
with
his
demise.
I
wish
to
share
the
grief
of
brother
@urstrulymahesh
who
has
to
bear
this
third
emotional
trauma
of
losing
a
mother,
brother
and
now
his
father.
My
deepest
condolence
dear
Mahesh
gaaru."
Actor
Suriya
Sivakumar
also
paid
his
tributes
to
the
veteran
actor,
condoling
his
son
Mahesh
Babu
in
twitter.
He
tweeted,
"
Our
prayers
and
respects
to
Krishna
garu,
sending
lots
of
love
and
strength
to
@urstruly
mahesh
and
family.
It's
been
a
tough
year
for
you
brother..
We
are
with
you!"
Krishna
was
married
to
Indira
Devi
before
marrying
actress
Vijaya
Nirmala.
While
he
was
trying
to
cope
up
with
the
loss
of
his
beloved
wife
Vijaya
Nirmala,
he
lost
his
eldest
son
this
January
and
his
first
wife
Indira
Devi
died
this
September.
The
loss
of
loved
ones,
combined
with
age
factor
is
said
to
have
taken
toll
on
Krishna's
health.
Actor
Krishna
has
also
worn
many
hats
apart
from
acting.
He
was
a
producer,
director
and
a
politician
too.
He
was
also
awarded
'Padma
Bhushan' for
his
contribution
to
Indian
Cinema.
Our
deepest
condolences
to
Mahesh
Babu
and
his
family!
