At the age of 79, superstar Krishna passed away on November 15. With full state honours, he was cremated. Days after his death, Krishna, affectionately known by his followers as Superstar, was remembered by his son and acclaimed actor Mahesh Babu on Twitter. He also wrote a touching letter lamenting the unexpected death of his father. He wrote, "Your life was celebrated. Your passing is being celebrated even more. Your magnificence is as such. You led an unafraid life. Your nature was one of valour and swagger. All that I looked up to, all that really mattered, my courage, motivation, and everything else are gone in an instant. Strangely enough, though, I sense a strength within myself that I've never really felt before. Now, I have no fear. I will always be illuminated by your light. I shall continue your legacy. I'll even make you proud. Love you nanna. My Superstar (sic)."
