In a turn of events, a news shared by popular director Seenu Ramasamy has left all of us completely shocked and saddened - yes, he took to his social media to inform that Theepetti Ganeshan aka Karthik passed away due to ill health.
According to the tweet, the actor breathed his last in Rajaji Government Hospital, Madurai. Director Seenu tweeted, “"I was shocked to know the sad demise of actor Karthik who had acted in my films. He was under treatment at Madurai Rajaji Hospital. Heartfelt condolences Ganesan.”
For the unversed, actor Theepetti Ganesan had acted in films like Billa 2, Thenmerku Paruvakaatru, Neerparavai, Kanne Kalaimaane, Kolamavu Kokila, and Ustad Hotel to name a few.
Last year, the actor had hit the headlines when he pleaded with folded hands in a video and requested Ajith to help him out of his financial struggles due to the Coronavirus outbreak. Post which, the actor's plea was received by a response from Raghava Lawrence, who had promised to connect Ganesan with Ajith's manager and also assured him to help with the educational needs of his children. We, at Behindwoods express our heartfelt condolences to the bereaving family!
