Puneeth Rajkumar, Darshan Thugudeep, Rashmika Mandanna and other Kannada celebs are shocked by the sudden death of Sandalwood actor Chiranjeevi Sarja, who passed away following a heart attack on Sunday.
Chiranjeevi Sarja reportedly suffered a brain stroke three days ago and he was recovering from it. He was admitted to the Sagar Apollo Hospital at Jayanagar in Bengaluru on Sunday afternoon after he complained of breathing problems. He failed to respond to the doctors' treatment and breathed his last.
The grandson of Shakti Prasad started his career as an assistant director with his uncle Arjun Sarja and he turned actor with the Kannada movie Vayuputra in 2009. He starred in over 20 movies in the last decade. He was one of the talented Sandalwood stars and he created his own niche with kind of films he has done. Like his uncle, he is also popularly known for his action.
Chiranjeevi Sarja was one of most professional actors and he had maintained a very cordial relationship with everyone in the film industry. The news about his sudden demise came as a rude shock to many of his friends in the industry.
