The unfortunate demise of actor Sidharth Venugopal has left the whole Malayalam TV industry in deep agony. The 41-year-old actor had succumbed to death after battling neuroendocrine carcinoma for a couple of years. Social media is full of tributes for the departed soul.“A friend I\u2019ve known since my days working in a salon\u2026 I still remember how, when he was about to act in his very first serial, he came to my shop and I styled his hair and beard. Later, he went on to become a well-known actor. As if by fate, I too eventually entered the world of serial acting. We never used to call each other often or share grand moments of friendship, but whenever we met, we would always say that we should work together on something good someday,” Santhwanam actor Bijesh penned an emotional note online.“I have never seen him without a smile. It\u2019s deeply painful to realize that I will never see that smile in person again. There was always a hope that we would meet again somewhere, someday. Now, that hope is gone. But dear friend, those old memories will never die. Leaving your dreams behind, you have taken your journey\u2026 Someday, we will meet again,” reads his note.Sharing a throwback picture with Sidharth, actor Keerthi Gopinath also penned an emotional tribute on Instagram.“I still can\u2019t believe that you\u2019ve left us, brother\u2026 The days we acted together, the laughter, the conversations, every little thing you did \u2014 all of it still lives vividly in my heart. Why did you leave us so soon? Not just for me\u2026 anyone who has spent even a moment with you cannot bear this news of your passing. Until my very last day, you will remain as a deep ache within me. May your soul rest in eternal peace,” he wrote.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
