When Nandamuri Taraka Ratna was admitted to the Narayana Hrudayalaya in Bengaluru, Nandamuri fans and Telugu Desam Party supporters hoped that he would come back strong and actively participate in the party activities. Sadly that did not happen, and he passed away while undergoing treatment at the hospital.
The news came as a shocking news one and all. He passed away on Saturday. The Nandamuri family heroes went to see him and the members of the Tollywood fraternity mourned his death. They could not believe that Taraka Ratna passed away at a young age.
YSRCP Rajya Sabha member Vijayasai Reddy who happens to be the uncle of Alekhya Reddy, wife of Taraka Ratna addressed the media and said that the family was shocked by his demise and they are dealing with indescribable pain and loss.
He also said that Taraka Ratna’s last rites will be held at 3 PM on Monday and Nandamuri Balakrishna is the one who fixed the time. Having said that, the Rajya Sabha member also thanked Balakishna on the occasion for the support he had extended till now.
It has to be mentioned here that Nandamuri Balakrishna has been attending Taraka Ratna from day one of his hospital admission. He was admitted to a hospital in Kuppam first and then shifted to another big hospital. However, he was shifted to the Narayana Hrudayalaya in Bengaluru and was treated there for a few weeks.
Balakrishna spoke to the doctors at Narayana Hrudayalaya and took care of all the things. Now he also fixed the time for the cremation. As Nandamuri Balakrishna is a strong believer in god and knows astrology he might have fixed the time as per that.
His mortal remains were shifted to his Mokila residence from Bengaluru and from there his mortal remains were shifted to Film Chamber earlier today so that people can see him for the last time and pay tributes.
Taraka Ratna had a big debut in Tollywood and as many as nine films were signed.Okato Number Kurraadu was his debut film. However, he started experimenting as he could not succeed as a hero. He acted with Nara Rohit in Raja Cheyyi Vesthe in which he played a stylish villain.
