Actor and comedian Fish Venkat, known for comic role in Telugu films, died on Friday in a hospital in Hyderabad.
Venkat Raj, who was known as Fish Venkat, was 53 years old. According to 123 Telugu reports, Venkat was struggling with serious kidney diseases for several months. He was admitted to the hospital after the condition deteriorated.
Doctors immediately advised kidney transplant. He was also placed on dialysis and ventilator during treatment, but did not improve his health.
Please tell that Venkat worked in more than 100 films during his career. He started his career with director Dasari Narayan Rao’s film Sampraka Sakka. His roles in films like Khushi, Banni, Shivam, Gabbar Singh, DJ Tillu, Slum Dog Hasband and Coffee with a Killer were well liked by the audience.
Recently, his daughter Shravanti appealed for financial assistance for kidney transplant. Its estimated cost was stated to be around 50 lakh rupees. Meanwhile, some rumors came that actor Prabhas has helped, but the family called it false.
The family had told Suman TV, in fact nothing like this happened. We are answering every call to help. Someone called Prabhas Anna as an assistant. Later it was discovered that he was fake. Prabhas does not even know anything about this. We have not received any financial help till now. “
However, some people definitely helped. Actor Pawan Kalyan gave 2 lakh rupees. The World Chen and a minister of Telangana also gave financial assistance, but could not find a kidney donor on time.
Fish Venkat is survived by his wife and three children. This is the third major loss for the Telugu film industry after the recent demise of Kota Srinivas Rao and Ravi Teja’s father Rajagopal Raju.
