Popular comedian Santhanam lost his father Neelamegam, yesterday, the 10th June. He was 69 and is survived by his wife Ponnukannu and son Santhanam.
It is said that Neelamegam was not keeping good health for some time as he was suffering from liver related issues. He was also being treated at Global Hospitals, Perumbakkam, Chennai for the past one month and finally the end had come in the evening.
Neelamegam was a civil engineer by profession and was said to be someone who supported his son’s career. It is sad that Santhanam’s next film Dhillukku Dhuddu is releasing next week and this sad news has come as a shocker to the comedian. Neelamegam’s body was taken to his residence at Pozhichalur, Chennai and the funeral rites are expected to happen today, the 11th June. Nowrunning offers its deepest condolence to Santhanam and his family.
