Sudheer Varma Kalidindi, a famous Telugu actor, ended his life on Monday morning. Reports suggest that he poisoned himself, and depression could be one of the main reasons for taking this extreme step.
Reports of a leading daily claimed that the late actor attempted suicide on January 10, 2023, when he consumed pesticide and was rushed to the hospital. After consuming poison in Warangal, Sudheer Varma underwent treatment at two hospitals in Hyderabad. He was being shifted to his home city of Vizag where he had recovered to some extent on Friday. However, his condition started deteriorating on Sunday, and he died in the wee hours of Monday.
The autopsy reports stated that Varma suffered a cardiopulmonary arrest during his treatment after consuming parquet – a toxic chemical/herbicide used to kill weeds.
Sudheer Varma’s friends and family believe that the actor was not getting good roles in the industry, which to some extent pushed the 34-year-old actor into a severe physiological condition. But the real reasons are still hidden from the world.
