Mandya: Scores of teary-eyed fans paid their last respects to actor and politician M.H. Amarnath, popular as Ambarish, in Mandya yesterday. The darling of the masses passed away at a private hospital in Bengaluru on Saturday night after a cardiac arrest.
After thousands of people — men, women and children — from across Karnataka came in droves yesterday morning, since the break of dawn, at Bengaluru’s Kanteerava Stadium where the mortal remains of the legendary actor were kept for public-viewing, the body was airlifted in a special Indian Air Force Chopper to Mandya, his hometown, for fans and relatives to pay homage.
