Ambareesh was a beloved star and politician of the Kannada land. Unfortunately, his demise has left such a huge void in our hearts. On his birth anniversary today (May 29), we bring you a feature on his dearest friends from other industries (he had quite a few thanks to his affable and larger-than-life personality).
Besides Rajinikanth, the duo's friendship, which is wildly known, Ambareesh was best friends with his contemporary Vishnuvardhan, Telugu actors Mohan Babu, Chiranjeevi, Bollywood actor and politician Shatrughan Sinha who were beside him in all of his happy moments and celebrations.
Soon after Ambareesh's demise, his bestie Rajinikanth had remarked: My friendship with Ambareesh is of over 40 years and deeply saddened by his death. Everyone will have a few close friends. But Ambareesh, I think, had over a 100 close friends. He lived like a king till the day he died and all he earned were people.
Now, that really is a sweet epitaph, isn't it? May the exuberant soul continue to rest in peace!
