Sarja, who starred in 20 films including the popular “Amma I Love You,” died of a heart attack, according to B.S. Yediyurappa, chief minister of Karnataka.
“It is a shock to hear the news that famous Kannada artist, Shri Chiranjeevi Sarja, died of a heart attack. Premature death at an age of just 39 years is shocking. My prayers are with the family, may God give them the strength to endure this grief,” Yediyurappa tweeted on Sunday.
Sarja, who also starred in “Whistle,” and “Varadanayaka,” came from a family of actors. He is the nephew of Tamil actor Arjun Sarja and grandson of veteran actor Shakti Prasad, according to the Hindustan Times. He married actress Meghana Raj in 2018.
Following the news of his death, many of Sarja’s fans began posting their condolences on his last Instagram post, which featured his brother, Dhruva Sarja, who is also a famous Kannada actor.
“A tragic loss to Indian cinema,” one fan commented. “We all miss you.”
A number of film stars also expressed their sadness on social media over Sarja’s sudden death.
“Shocked to hear about #chiranjevvisarja’s demise!!!” actress Priyamani tweeted. “Can never forget his smiling face.”
“Absolutely devastated to hear about the sudden demise of Chiranjeevi Sarja. I pray Meghna and the whole family finds strength to tide through this shock and sorrow,” actor Prithviraj Sukumaran tweeted.
I really don’t know who he is but 39, come on,
Hey Dan….thanks for sharing this information….I like you do not know who is, but 39 is way too young. Rest in Peace – Chiranjeevi Sarja
Rest in peace Eddie Haskell…. grew up watching him on Leave It To Beaver…..later in life I got a chance to meet him. Somewhere in my storage closet is an autograph of his. Rest in Peace Ken Osmond
How great that you got to meet Ken Osmond. I watched Leave It to Beaver as well. R.I.P.
Hey Flora….he hosted a Harris Teeter Sales Meeting. He came out on stage in his Leave It To Beaver sweater. One part of the meeting was a collection of older commercials. After seeing the commercials the people in those commercials came on stage with him. From Mr. Clean to Orville Redenbacher’s son to a host of other ad people. At the end…all the commercial stars and Osmond did a meet and greet. He seemed to be having fun…which was fun for us to see. Good memory. RIP
rest in peace fred Willard. a funny guy. I fondly remember Fernwood tonight from television. I saw 12 of his movies that I remember .
10 and favorite is Roxanne. 9 and favorite: wall-e (gasp, one of a handful of anime that made my favorites list) 9 not favorites: the magic of belle isle(morgan freeman was great) .
lots of quirky movies here that have developed cult followings and high reviews. sadly most of them missed me on the days I viewed them. this is spinal tap, waiting for guffman, Harold and Kumar does white castle, the spy who shagged me, anchorman , fun with dick and jane, silver streak and on and on. Fred Willard’s quirkiness rivals bill murray’s.
to The Bob, I noticed a frazier 80 minute special “analyzing the laughter” sounds interesting, directed by Kelsey grammer.
I have seen 4 Fred Willard movies, all enjoyable. In order of preference;
Best in Show
A Mighty Wind
This is Spinal Tap
Roxanne
RIP
Comic Actor Fred Willard, number 1000 on the new Oracle of Bacon Top 1000 Center of the Hollywood Universe list dated May 10, 2020, has died at 86. The highest he ever was # 510 in 2005.
Hey Dan. WoC told me that news a few hours ago. I was not thinking he had a huge movie career. But then I saw you comment and that he is #510 on the Oracle list..so I looked at the database and saw he had over 30 movies there….so I put on this page. Thanks for alerting me.
Rest in Peace Fred Willard. Seems I have been seeing him in movies and television shows all my life. Sad news.
