Rajendra in 2018 said he lost his mother when he was 10-years-old, and when he grew up without his mother, he started looking for his mother in his daughter. The remarks were made during a pre-release event of the Bewarse film.
Wondering what made Rajendra so emotional back then? Bewarse had a song in which the actor¡¯s onscreen character sees the death of his daughter. This is what made Rajendra Prasad emotional.
Rajendra back then said though he is not speaking to his daughter as she got married against his wishes, he made Gayathri listen to this song for almost four times.?
The father-daughter duo had a complicated relationship after Gayathri got married to a man against Rajendra Prasad's wishes. The relations later got better with time, and Rajendra often expressed his deep love for Gayathri.?
Gayathri is survived by one daughter whose name is Sai Tejaswini, and she is a child performer. The entire Tollywood community is in grief today and is offering their condolences to Rajendra Prasad and his family.
