It is indeed unfortunate to report that Telugu television actress Srilakshmi Kanakala passed away on Monday, April 6, in Hyderabad. The star was battling cancer for a long time.

The sad news was conveyed on social media by Amrutham actor Harshavardhan, who shared the cause of death and also requested the family and friends to avoid gathering to pay their respects, in view of the COVID-19 lockdown.

Srilakshmi is survived by her husband Peddi Rama Rao and two daughters Prerna and Ragaleena.

Her first TV appearance was in her father Devadas Kanakala’s show Rajasekhara Charitra.

She gained fame through her performances in shows such as Agnipoolu, Chinnari, Ruthu Geetham and Super Mom.

RIP.
