Hero Raviteja opened up on giving a miss to the last rites of his younger brother Bharath who passed in a road mishap on Outer Ring Road in Hyderabad.
Raviteja: 'Entire Family was in a state of shock upon knowing about Bharath's demise. My Father ages 85-plus & he have few health issues. He wasn't in a good state of mind upon knowing about the tragedy. My Mother collapsed all of a sudden. We tried our best to console them. In the meantime, Raghu went to Osmania Hospital to complete the formalities. We were told that Bharath's Face was in a bad condition. We can't see him like that and hence given his last rites a miss. Imagine, How much pain we had been through! Don't know when Mom & Dad will be back to normalcy' .
'I can't see people who weren't alive. I have this phobia. I am the one who willn't be seen anywhere whenever an Industry biggie passes away. After few days, I will go to console the family members of the deceased. When Srihari passed away, I tried my best to see his mortal remains. But, My heartbeat has gone up upon reaching close to his house and hence I came back without catching a glimpse of him. That's my weakness! How could I see my own brother in such condition? We too have emotions though we are film actors'.
The Actor rubbished the reports that a Junior Artiste performed last rites of Bharath and he was paid Rs 1,500. 'Why would we do that? I am with my parents. They said Raghu can't perform it! Hence, Our Uncle (Husband of My Mother's Sister) took part in it. We were insulted with baseless reports saying Bharath was given a send off like an Orphan without knowing about Facts'.
Responding on the wild speculations in Media & Social Media, Raviteja blamed rumormongers who has done the damage to his Family for the sake of TRPs and Hits. He claims to be returning home soon after the completion of Day's shoot to spend time with his Parents and trying to be normal in their presence.
