Telugu Star's Shocking Final Wish: All to Helper

Telugu cinema mourned the loss of actor Ranganath, who died by suicide on December 19, 2015, at the age of 66. He left a profound final wish, dedicating his entire fortune to his domestic help. Ranganath's message, scrawled on his house wall, instructed his family to give his savings to Meenakshi, who had cared for him.

His career spanned 46 years, featuring over 300 films and television serials. Ranganath, born in Chennai, transitioned from the railways to acting, making his debut in 1969. He initially played lead roles before moving to character and villainous parts.

Personal struggles, including the loss of his wife in 2009 and subsequent battles with depression, reportedly contributed to his final decision. His daughter mentioned he had spoken of suicide and sought counseling. His family honored his last wish after his passing.
