Telugu actor Ravi Teja is mourning the loss of his father, Bhupathiraju Rajagopal Raju, who passed away at the age of 90 on July 15 in Hyderabad.
A Life Lived Quietly
Bhupathiraju Rajagopal Raju had been battling age-related ailments for some time. He breathed his last at his residence, surrounded by his family. His passing marks a profound loss for the popular actor and his loved ones.
Despite his son Ravi Teja’s widespread fame as a “Mass Maharaja” in Tollywood, Rajagopal Raju preferred to live a low-profile life. He was a pharmacist by profession and rarely made public appearances, choosing to stay out of the limelight that often follows celebrity families.
