Hyderabad: Popular Telugu actor Fish Venkat, whose real name is Venkat Raj, passed away at a private hospital here on Friday following a prolonged battle with kidney-related ailments. He was 53.
The actor’s family admitted him to the hospital a few days ago after his kidney condition worsened, resulting in complete kidney failure.
Recently, Fish Venkat’s daughter had said that doctors had recommended a kidney transplant but the family was unable to afford the expensive medical procedure.
