ಕನ್ನಡದ ಖ್ಯಾತ ಕಲಾವಿದ, ಶ್ರೀ ಚಿರಂಜೀವಿ ಸರ್ಜಾ ಹೃದಯಾಘಾತದಿಂದ ಮೃತಪಟ್ಟ ಸುದ್ದಿ ತಿಳಿದು ತೀವ್ರ ಆಘಾತವಾಗಿದೆ. ಕೇವಲ 39 ವರ್ಷದ ವಯಸ್ಸಿನಲ್ಲಿ ಅಕಾಲಿಕವಾಗಿ ವಿಧಿವಶರಾಗಿರುವುದು ದಿಗ್ಭ್ರಮೆ ಮೂಡಿಸಿದೆ. ದೇವರು ಅವರಿಗೆ ಸದ್ಗತಿಯನ್ನು, ಅವರ ಕುಟುಂಬ, ಅಪಾರ ಅಭಿಮಾನಿ ವರ್ಗಕ್ಕೆ ದುಃಖವನ್ನು ಸಹಿಸುವ ಶಕ್ತಿ ನೀಡಲಿ ಎಂದು ಪ್ರಾರ್ಥಿಸುತ್ತೇನೆ. pic.twitter.com/wNe8aMRSHi
