Bigg Boss Contestant Bhoomi Shetty Mourns Raju Talikote's Tragic Demise

Last month, the Kannada entertainment industry and fans were left in grief over the sudden demise of veteran actor Raju Talikote. Raju, known for his comic roles in Kannada cinema and theatre, passed away following a cardiac arrest in Udupi.

Bhoomi Shetty, who shared a close bond with Raju during their stint on Bigg Boss Kannada Season 7, was deeply shocked to hear the news. Bhoomi revealed that she had spoken to Raju just a couple of days before his passing, and he was full of energy and positivity. "He was speaking so happily, cracking jokes as always. He never gave the slightest hint of being unwell. It's tough to digest that he is no longer with us," she said, her voice breaking with emotion.

Reminiscing about their time together on Bigg Boss, Bhoomi fondly remembered Raju's cheerful personality, describing him as the 'heart of the house.' "He was always laughing, entertaining everyone, and lightening up tense moments. Even when others were down, Raju sir had this rare ability to make everyone smile. That's how I'll always remember him," she shared. Bhoomi further reflected on how the bonds they formed on the show were very real, and Raju was one of the most genuine people she met during that journey.
