Actor Pandu is well known in Tamil cinema for his comedy and supporting roles. He worked in Tamil cinema for more than five decades. Some of his best-known roles were in Kadhal Kottai, Azhagi, Varalaru, Ghilli and Villu to name a few. “Enna vaai matum dhaan velai seyudhu…” was a well-known line from his comedy in Pokkiri.
He and his wife Kumudha were admitted to a private hospital in Chennai post contracting covid-19. While he passed away this morning, after not responding to treatment, his wife continues to receive care in the ICU. The couple has three sons.
Not only was he was running his own business, but was also very good at designing logos and had done the ADMK’s two-leaves symbol. Celebs have been condoling his demise.
சிறந்த குணச்சித்திர நடிகரும், என்னுடன் பல திரைப்படங்களில் உடன் நடித்தவரும், நல்ல நண்பருமான பாண்டு மறைந்த செய்தி மிகுந்த வருத்தமளிக்கிறது. அவரது குடும்பத்தார்க்கு ஆழ்ந்த இரங்கலை தெரிவித்து, அவரது ஆன்மா சாந்தியடைய இறைவனைப் பிரார்த்திக்கிறேன் #RipPandu

அஞ்சலி செலுத்தக் கூட என் மனம் தடுமாறுகிறது.
அடுத்தடுத்து எத்தனை துயர்கள். விவேக்,k v ஆனந்த் இன்று பாண்டு இப்படி என் நண்பர்களும், அறிமுகமே இல்லாத பல உயிர்களும் பிரிய...
இன்னும் எழுதக் கூட.... தெரியவில்லை!
