Superstar Krishna Demise: PM Modi, Telangana CM, Chiranjeevi & Others Pay Tribute To Mahesh Babu's Father

Several actors of the Telugu film industry took to their social media accounts to pay tribute to the veteran actor and offer their condolences to Mahesh Babu.

New Delhi: Telugu superstar Krishna, known for his stellar performances in over 300 movies, left for his heavenly abode earlier today, on November 15, 2022. He was in a critical condition and was kept under observation in the Intensive Care Unit of Hyderabad's Continental Hospital, after suffering from a cardiac arrest on Monday, November 14.

The veteran actor, whose full name was Ghattamaneni Siva Rama Krishna Murthy, turned 79 in May this year. Krishna was the father of renowned Telugu superstar Mahesh Babu. The Ghattamaneni family is going through a rough patch with back-to-back tragedies. Mahesh Babu's father Indira Devi passed away recently, in September, this year. While his elder brother Ramesh Babu breathed his last at the beginning of the year, in January.

As soon as news of superstar Krishna's death broke, several popular actors of the Telugu film industry took to their social media accounts to pay tribute to the veteran actor and offer their condolences to Mahesh Babu and his family.

Superstar Chiranjeevi took to his Twitter handle and wrote a heartfelt message in Telugu which translates to, "This is a tragedy beyond words. I can't believe that Superstar Krishna is leaving us. He is a kind hearted Himalayan mountain. A shout for adventure is synonymous with bravery. Courage, adventure, perseverance, humanity, goodness.. Krishna is the combination of these."

"Such a great man is rare not only in the Telugu film industry but also in the Indian film industry. A tearful tribute to Krishna who has done so many adventures that the Telugu film industry can be proud of. My deepest condolences and condolences to my brother Mahesh Babu, all his family members and his innumerable fans, wishing his soul to rest in peace. Ghattamaneni's family."
