Fish Venkat Passes Away at 53 Due to Organ Failure
Fish Venkat's death highlights the importance of organ donation and the need for financial support for those undergoing medical treatment. His legacy will continue to inspire and entertain fans, and his memory will be cherished by the Telugu film industry and beyond.
Telugu comedian Fish Venkat, known for his unique Telangana accent and comic roles, has passed away due to multiple organ failure, including kidney failure, at the age of 53. He had been undergoing dialysis and was on a ventilator before his death, despite efforts to find a matching kidney donor.
Venkat had been in the industry for over two decades and had appeared in films such as "Gabbar Singh" and "DJ Tillu". He was a beloved figure among moviegoers, and his passing has sent shockwaves through the Telugu film industry. Financial aid for his treatment had been provided by several notable figures, including Pawan Kalyan, Vishwak Sen, and a Telangana government minister, but it was insufficient to cover the costs of his treatment.
The family had also been a victim of a hoax, with someone claiming to be from Prabhas' team offering financial support, only to be revealed as a fake call. Despite this, the family had been grateful for the support they had received, including a donation of Rs 2 lakh from actor Vishwak Sen. However, the estimated cost of a kidney transplant, at least Rs 50 lakh, had been a significant burden, and the family had been in urgent need of further financial aid.
The passing of Fish Venkat is a significant loss to the Telugu film industry, and his unique talent and contributions will be deeply missed. The outpouring of support from the industry and fans is a testament to his beloved status, and his legacy will continue to be celebrated through his body of work.
