Chiranjeevi's former son-in-law, Shirish Bharadwaj, passed away in hospital due to illness.

Shirish was previously married to Chiranjeevi's younger daughter, Sreeja Konidela, which sparked a significant controversy when they married.

They have a daughter named Nivrati. However, Sreeja later divorced Shirish. Currently, Sreeja and her children live with Chiranjeevi.

Shirish had been suffering from lung damage and was undergoing treatment in the hospital before his recent passing. Further details about his death are awaited.
