In a heartbreaking loss for veteran actor Rajendra Prasad, his daughter Gayathri passed away early Saturday morning due to a massive heart attack. She was 38 years old. The Tollywood community has come together to offer condolences and support to the grieving actor and his family during this difficult time.
Tragic Loss
According to reports, Gayathri experienced chest pain late on Friday night and was rushed to AIG Hospital in Hyderabad for treatment. Despite medical efforts, she succumbed to a heart attack around 12:40 a.m. on Saturday.
