Telugu actor Fish Venkat, who is known for his comedy and negative roles in the film industry, took his last breath on July 18. The late actor reportedly died after battling kidney-related ailments. Venkat was admitted to a hospital after his kidney function worsened, followed by Kidney failure. He was in the ICU and was in need of a Kidney transplant. Fish Venkat’s death news has shocked the entertainment industry and his fans.

Earlier this month, Venkat’s daughter, Sravanthi, said that Prabhas' team has offered them financial support. In an interview with One India, Sravanthi said, “Daddy isn’t well at all. He is very serious and in the ICU. He needs a kidney transplant. It will cost us at least ₹50 lakh. Prabhas’ assistant called us and offered financial assistance. They asked us to inform them when his transplant happens to cover the cost.”

Later, Venkat’s family stated that the call was fake. When asked if Prabhas reached out for help, the family told Suman TV, “Actually, nothing like that happened. We have been answering every call we get to see if anyone can help us. Some unknown person called us pretending to be Prabhas Anna’s assistant. We found out after that it was a fake call. He doesn’t even know something like this is happening. We have not received any financial help yet.”
