Fish Venkat Death: A very sad news has surfaced from the South film industry. Actor Fish Venkat, famous for his comedy roles, passed away on Friday. Fish Venkat, 53, who had been ill for a long time, finally bid farewell to the world due to kidney failure. His death has sent a wave of mourning through the Telugu film industry.
Fish Venkat, whose real name was Mangalampalli Venkatesh, had been struggling with serious health issues for some time. In particular, his kidneys had completely failed, and doctors had advised him to undergo a kidney transplant. His family was searching for a donor, but they could not find a kidney donor in time, which led to his death.
Fish Venkat was famous for his comic timing
In the South film industry, Fish Venkat was known for his excellent comic timing and entertaining roles. He also played a memorable role in Pawan Kalyan's superhit film 'Gabbar Singh'. Apart from this, he was a part of many popular films like 'Hippi', 'Aadi', 'Superstar Kidnap'. He was a very famous face in Telugu cinema, especially his dialogue delivery in comedy scenes was greatly liked by fans.
Fans compared him to South's famous villain Rami Reddy because both had very similar appearances. However, Venkat mostly made his mark in comedy roles in his career.
Why was he called 'Fish Venkat'?
Fish Venkat's real name was Venkatesh, but due to the local dialect of Telangana and his style, he came to be known as 'Fish Venkat' in the film industry. He gained popularity in films with this name. Fish Venkat's family recently revealed in an interview that they needed ₹50 lakh for his treatment, which was very difficult for them to afford.
His daughter Shravanti claimed that South superstar Prabhas had offered to help them financially. She said that Prabhas' assistant had called and assured them that all expenses would be covered after the transplant. However, this call later turned out to be fake. Fish Venkat's family revealed the truth, stating that no such call had come from Prabhas.
Someone had tried to commit fraud by posing as Prabhas' assistant. The family said, "We were answering every call, hoping that someone could help. An unknown person called in the name of Prabhas Anna, but later it turned out to be fake. We have not received any financial help from anyone so far."
Took his last breath due to kidney failure
Fish Venkat had been admitted to the ICU for the past few months and his health was continuously deteriorating. His condition was critical due to kidney failure. He finally passed away on Friday. If a donor had been found in time, his life could perhaps have been saved, but fate did not favor him.
The Telugu film industry and his fans are deeply saddened by the death of Fish Venkat. Many artists and fans of the industry have expressed their grief through social media. Everyone described him as a great artist and a kind-hearted person.
