Tarakaratna is known as the grandson of senior actor NTR and also as an actor himself. Though he was not much active as an actor in the last few years, has been leading a peaceful life in his way. However, on the 27th of January, his life took a turn for the worse.
It all started when Tarakaratna came to accompany his cousin Lokesh on the launch day of his 'Padayatra'. They reached Masjid at 11:20 AM and left at 11:40 AM. As they entered Babu Nagar at 11:57 AM, tragedy struck. Tarakaratna collapsed around 12:00 PM, leaving many stunned and in disbelief.
While Lokesh was busy walking along with his father in law Balakrishna, not knowing about Tarakaratna's collapse, TDP members immediately called for help and rushed Tarakaratna to KC Hospital, which was just 15 minutes away. The hospital staff quickly took charge of the situation and shifted Tarakaratna to the emergency ward.
At 12:15 PM, Tarakaratna was shifted from KC Hospital to PES Kuppam, which was a more specialized medical facility. The medical team at PES worked tirelessly to stabilize Tarakaratna's condition. However, despite their best efforts, Tarakaratna's condition continued to deteriorate.
On the 28th of January, Tarakaratna was shifted to Narayana Hrudayalaya, Bangalore, for further treatment. An ambulance left PES Hospital at 12:20 AM, carrying Tarakaratna to the hospital. Balakrishna took care of the treatment throughout from the day 1 of Tarakaratna collapsing.
Sadly, after battling for 23 days for his life in a comatose condition, Tarakaratna breathed his last on the 18th of February which happened to be Shivarathri. His death was a massive loss for the Nandamuris and his admirers.
