T Narasimha Rao, popularly known as TNR (for his interview show Frankly Speaking With TNR), has passed away battling COVID-19. The star anchor is being treated in a hospital for the last few days where he is on respiratory support. Only the other day, we heard his condition is critical and he passed away earlier today.
TNR has contacted corona some time back. He got treated for it and was declared safe. Then, at a time when things looked perfectly alright, he suddenly reported a breathing problem. TNR got re-admitted to the hospital and never made it back.
His final rites will happen according to the COVID protocols. Condolence messages are pouring in from the industry as well as the social media people. The second wave of Covid-19 seems inescapable. Many are succumbing to it, and the death rate too is also very high. Many celebs from different walks of life have contracted Covid-19. Unfortunately, a few of them, unlike the first wave, have succumbed, as well.
TNR is not just famous for his anchoring; he is also an actor. He has acted in many small films and was next expected to be part of the biggie F3. However, the shooting was halted mid-way due to the pandemic situation. May his soul rest in peace!
