Kannada film industry faced a major setback early last month when they lost one of their top heroes - Chirajeevi Sarja who succumbed to a massive heart attack and was declared dead on the 7th of June. The actor was taken to a hospital after he developed uneasiness and complained of pain. Apparently, the doctors could not revive him and he was declared dead when he was brought to the hospital in Jayanagar, Bangalore. He was the nephew of actor Arjun Sarja. Chiranjeevi’s cremation took place at his farmhouse which was attended by several film stars from the Kannada film industry including leading actors Sudeep and Yash. Chiranjeevi was only 39 years old and was married to actress Meghana Raj who acted in the Tamil film Kaadhal Solla Vandhen. Meghana Raj is the only daughter to film actors Sundar Raj and Pramila Joshai. Her father Sundar has acted in more than 180 films, predominantly in the Kannada language, while her mother Pramila Joshai is a noted Kannada film actress and film producer.
