CM Bommai calls Puneeth Rajkumar’s demise ‘personal loss’
Remembering Kannada actor Puneeth Rajkumar days after his sudden demise following a cardiac arrest, Karnataka Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai called his death a ‘personal loss’. “It was a personal bonding with the entire family and more so with 'Appu'. I had seen him as a boy. We had relations since those days. Therefore, I am giving him a final salute. Certainly, I was emotional. It's a personal loss to me. We have lost a very great talent,” he added.
