The Kannada television industry mourns the loss of veteran actor Sreedhar Naik, who passed away on the night of May 26 at 10 PM after a prolonged illness. He had been under medical care for several months, but despite continued treatment, his condition worsened and ultimately led to his passing.
His mortal remains have been placed at Baptist Hospital, Hebbal, for public viewing until 11 AM today, following which his last rites will be performed.

More than just an actor, Sreedhar Naik was a multi-talented artist. He contributed to the industry in numerous capacities, as a makeup artist, television anchor, acting and voice trainer, and theatre instructor.
