Bapu garu will always be immortal : Ashmita Karnani

The sudden demise of veteran filmmaker Bapu has come as a big shock to the film industry. From Chiranjeevi to Nani, almost all the actors who have worked with him recounted their experience of working with him and offered their condolences to his family. In the early 2000s, Bapu had directed a TV serial, Sri Venkateswara Vaibhavam and he had cast Ashmita Karnani in an important role. Few days after the shooting began, apparently, Ashmita impressed Bapu so much that he ended up praising her."Mee valla maa serial ke andam wocchindi" (Your presence has brought a lot of grace to our serial)...these were the exact words the legend said to me,(shooting for sri venkateshwara vaibhavam) in his trademark soft spoken manner!!! He and his words are immortal (sic)," Ashmita posted on her official page.
