Prime Minister Narendra Modi shared a heartfelt condolence note on social media following the death of veteran Tamil actor Delhi Ganesh. Modi praised Ganesh's exceptional talent, calling him "blessed with impeccable acting skills." The PM also acknowledged that the depth and authenticity in his performances allowed him to "connect with viewers across generations," solidifying his legacy in the hearts of many.
Delhi Ganesh, beloved for his roles in both comedy and supporting characters, passed away on Saturday at the age of 80 after battling age-related health issues. His son Mahadevan shared the sad news on Instagram, confirming that the actor had passed away at his residence in Ramapuram.
Ganesh was a staple in Tamil cinema for over four decades, working in over 400 films with iconic stars like Rajinikanth, Kamal Haasan, and Vijay, as well as with new-generation actors. His versatility in both light-hearted and dramatic roles earned him a special place in the industry. Tributes from K-town stars such as Rajinikanth, Vijay, Sivakumar, Karthi, Vijay Sethupathi, and Madhavan have poured in, alongside veteran directors SP Muthuraman, Suresh Krissna, and actor S Ve Shekher, who have all honored his memory and contribution to Tamil cinema.
