Kannada Actor-cum-Politician Ambareesh (Actress Sumalatha's Husband) breathed his last in Bengaluru on Saturday. He suffered Cardiac Arrest while undergoing treatment for serious health issues.

Ambareesh is known to be the 'Rebel Star' of Kannada Cinema. He bagged National Award for his launch pad 'Naagarahaavu' (1972) and went on to act in around 200 feature films. Ambareesh and Sumalatha had fallen in love & got married in 1992. They have a son Abhishek.

This Senior Actor was a successful politician too. He was a 3-time MP and even served as Union Minister (MoS for Information & Broadcasting) in Manmohan Singh's Cabinet from 2006 to 2008. Due to health issues, Ambareesh stayed away from the recent Karnataka Assembly Polls. He, however, took the initiative to resolve issues between film celebs in Kannada Film Industry during the ongoing #MeToo Movement.

Ambareesh maintains close relations with Chiranjeevi, Mohan Babu and few other Senior Actors of Telugu Cinema. Sudden demise of the Rebel Star was a bitter shock to all those who admired him.
