Dil Raju, the famous producer of Telugu Cinema Industry, is known for making movies with family values and clean stories. He made movies that resemble his ideology and never ever made any compromise when he had to deliver a good message. Like his films, he is also known for being a complete family man devoted to his wife and children. Recently, he had to overcome the biggest tragedy of his life, his wife Anita Reddy's death.
Dil Raju explained that in his words, "I was in America as the news broke and my son-in-law called me to deliver the news. I was in stunned silence for next ten minutes and I could not understand anything around me. I needed to grab on to something that can hold me, support me. Harish Shankar called me and said my daughter is not in a position to talk and the family needs me immediately. I got on the next plane available but I was completely shattered to pieces. All the memories of good and bad times I spent with my wife are flashing in front of my eyes.
As planes do not allow for phone calls, I was in touch with my family through WhatsApp. Knowing me and my condition, very well, my daughter recuperated herself and I don't know how could she find that strength but she tried to be my support. Nearing my home in the car I broke down and it is my daughter to took me to my wife's deadbody. I faced many tough times in life but this one is too tough to handle. Whenever I see her chair empty on the dining table, it hits me again. She never used to wake up in the middle of the night for my send off whenever I travelled late in the night. But the day before she died, she woke up and sent me off. Thats the last time she spoke to me and in the morning she cooked some pav bhaji for me, that's the last meal she ever made for me. I need to come out of this, I know but it is not easy at all."
