South Indian Artist Association Condolence Message To Kota Srinivasa rao
The eyes that once radiated brilliance have gently shut…
The voice that roared like a lion has fallen silent…
A legend who donned countless avatars now lies still, his final expression solemn and still.
With a thousand roles, each distinct from the other, his artistry remains untouched by time. Thanks to the strides of technology, while many great artists fade with the years, the performances of Sri Kota Srinivasa Rao live on, to be studied, revered, and remembered.
How can one not admire his pride and reverence for the Telugu language?
A comrade and a leader who boldly voiced the rights of his fellow actors who spoke his tongue. A man crowned with countless honors among them, the prestigious Padma Shri.
Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Hindi! is there a language his lips have not spoken? Dear Kota Srinivasa Rao Gaaru… your place is yours alone.
None can replace you, no matter how hard they try.
Your passing is our sorrow.
The South Indian Artistes’ Association humbly prays for your soul to rest in peace.
