In the Telugu film industry, many talented performers have captivated the hearts of the audience with their comic timing, strong screen presence, and more. One such gem from the industry is Fish Venkat. He is a familiar face in the Telugu film industry and is commonly seen in supporting roles in several films. His quick wit and unique Telangana accent make him stand out from the crowd and have earned him name and fame.
However, recently the famous actor has been making headlines, but this time it's not for his work but rather for his serious health condition. Fish Venkat is battling kidney failure. In the last few weeks, his serious condition has been doing the rounds, and as per the reports, his health has deteriorated over the past few weeks. He is also in urgent need of a kidney transplant. Who is Fish Venkat?
Fish Venkat hails from Hyderabad, Telangana, and has a knack for acting right from his childhood. He ventured into the world of entertainment in the early 2000s with his debut film Kushi. From his quick wit, comic timing to his infectious energy, he has made a name for himself in the industry and in the hearts of the audience. He has worked in many hit films like Bunny, Adhurs, Dhee, Gabbar Singh, DJ Tillu, Slum Dog Husband, Narakasura, and Coffee with a Killer. He also appeared in a negative role, which further cemented his versatility as an actor. Fish Venkat – Early Life and Work
Speaking of his personal life, Fish Venkat is married to Suvarna, and the couple has a daughter named Sravanthi. His daughter, Sravanthi, also recently made an emotional appeal for assistance and help during the times of his father's serious condition. She also revealed that her father, Fish Vekant, has also been on dialysis for the last nine months, and his health has further worsened as his kidneys have completely failed. He is currently in the hospital and was also put on a ventilator. As per the Doctors, a kidney transplant is the only solution, and it would cost around INR 50 lakhs. Fish Venkat's Serious Health
She also further shared that actor Prabhas' team had contacted them and promised to provide financial support for the transplant. 'Daddy is very unwell and in the ICU. Prabhas' assistant assured us of help and asked to be informed when the transplant happens,' she said. However, Venkat's wife later said that even though actor Prabhas offered financial help, no funds have been received so far. Actor Pawan Kalyan also contributed INR 2 lakhs towards the treatment
Due to medical constraints, no family member has been able to donate their kidney; therefore, the family is going through a tough time finding a suitable kidney donor. Venkant's daughter, Sravanthi, has requested support from the public and stars like Allu Arjun and Jr. NTR to help find a donor and save her father's life.
