Meghana Raj to take son to husband Chiranjeevi Sarja's memorial on first death anniversary

Actress Meghana Raj on Sunday revealed that she and her son will visit the memorial of her husband Chiranjeevi Sarja who died of a cardiac arrest in a private hospital in Bangalore on 7 June.

In an interview with the Times of India newspaper, Meghana recalled the night tragedy struck. "The one thing that stays with me the most is how on the night of 6 June 2020, I was fast asleep while Chiranjeevi was still awake. At some point during the night, I opened my eyes, only to see that he was just gazing at me and smiling. I asked him what he was thinking and he said ‘nothing’. The look on his face that night will remain with me forever and I think of it every single day,” she said.

The actress added that she would take her son to visit her husband’s memorial for the first time. When Chiranjeevi died, she was five months pregnant. 

“I am taking our son to the farm that has Chiranjeevi’s memorial for the first time since his birth. I wanted 7 June to be the first time that he visits the place,” she said. 

She also said she wanted her husband to be remembered as a source of happiness. “There are a lot of people who talk about him to me, be it the family or friends. I do not like it when they cry about it. Of course, we all continue to grieve and that will never diminish, but when we talk about Chiranjeevi, I want it to be about the good things he has done and how he has always wished well for others,” she said.
