Beloved Telugu actor and well-known comedian, Fish Venkat, sadly passed away at the age of 53. He had been receiving medical treatment for some time, and his colleagues in the industry were asked to contribute funds by his family as he was hospitalized.

Fish Venkat passes away

Actor Fish Venkat, also known as Venkat Raj, tragically passed away in Hyderabad on July 19th. Despite being connected to a ventilator and scheduled for a kidney transplant, financial constraints within his family prevented this from happening, leading to an appeal for assistance from prominent figures within the film industry.

Regrettably, because of insufficient finances, the actor was unable to receive a kidney transplant and has sadly passed away. His loved ones, including his wife and daughter, are left behind.

Fish Venkat’s daughter pleaded for financial support for his father

In a conversation with One India, Fish Venkat’s daughter disclosed his current health status, which involves him being in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and fighting a kidney-related illness.

She publicly appealed to stars such as Pawan Kalyan, Jr NTR, Allu Arjun, and others, asking them for assistance regarding her father’s situation.

I am asking for assistance from Chiranjeevi, Pawan Kalyan, Allu Arjun, and Jr NTR. They have all collaborated with my father on wonderful films in the past. Regrettably, no one seems to be lending a hand to him right now. I implore everyone to offer their help for finding a donor for my father.

When Fish Venkat’s family got a false call for help from Prabhas

In the wake of statements made by Fish Venkat’s daughter capturing attention in news outlets, it was reported that Prabhas extended a helping hand to the family by offering them a monetary assistance amounting to INR 50 lakhs.

Initially, it was disclosed that the comedian’s family received a call from the assistant of the Star Wars actor, who claimed to have verified the information. However, it turned out to be false.

As an ardent admirer, I later came to learn from someone near to Fish Venkat’s kin, that the supposed call was a sham, orchestrated by none other than a fraudulent individual pretending to be close to him.

As a lifestyle connoisseur, I’d like to share an incident that occurred recently. Someone posing as Prabhas’s assistant reached out to us, but it turned out to be a false claim. The imposter was unaware that such an act was underway. To clarify, we haven’t received any financial assistance from the genuine party yet.
