I hope God gives his family members the strength to recover from his loss. Also, the industry has lost a fine artist and Mandya Ravi sir will be missed.”
“I was thrilled when I learned that Mandy Ravi sir was roped in to essay the character of Shankarmurthy in Nammane Yuvarani. I have watched him act effortlessly since childhood and was a big fan of him as well. Getting to share screen space with him was another level of excitement for me. I did have a wonderful time shooting with him on the sets of our show,” shared Ankita.
Ankita continued by adding, “The way Mandya Ravi sir would express himself in front of the camera was very intense. He would get into the skin of the on-screen character and give his best shot.

“There was this particular scene where I was asked to slap Mandya Ravi sir as the scene demanded it. So, before going for the shot, I asked him if he was ok with the shot. I was very nervous about this particular scene. Interestingly, when I shared the same with Mandya Ravi sir, he asked me to just get involved in the scene and give it the best shot. Although we were having fun amidst that particular shot, the situation took a drastic change when the director said action. Both of us got into our on-screen characters and the scene came out really very well,” shared Ankita.
She summed up by saying, “Not just this particular scene, there are many other beautiful and memorable incidents I would like to cherish related to Mandya Ravi sir. He was an artist who could carry any role effortlessly. He will be deeply missed.”
