CHENNAI: Actor and comedian Robo Shankar’s elder brother, Sivaraman, has opened up about the circumstances surrounding the 46-year-old’s untimely death. In an interview with Thanthi TV, he revealed that on September 15 (Monday), Shankar attended a film pooja at Prasath Studios followed by a shoot.
He reportedly experienced fatigue and dizziness, visited a private hospital where he was given IV fruids, and returned to work.
However, his condition worsened as he collapsed again and began vomiting blood. Doctors who later performed an endoscopy confirmed that multiple organs of his body had been severely affected.
Sivaraman also recalled Shankar’s early life and rise to fame. Shankar lost his father at the age of six and, during his college years, dreamed of becoming a stage performer.
