His mellifluous voice, passionate love for languages and literature and genial humour have left an indelible impact on millions of admirers, including me. It is a personal tragedy for me as we both belong to Nellore.
My heartfelt condolences to his family.
Om Shanti!— Vice-President of India (@VPIndia) September 25, 2020
