Meena rubbishes false rumours around husband Sagar’s death

Tamil actor Meena Sagar’s husband Vidyasagar died on Monday. As soon as the news of his death came to light, rumours about the cause of his death started doing the rounds on the internet. On Friday, in an Instagram post, Meena requested her fans to stop spreading these rumours and said that the family is seeking privacy at the moment.

Meena Sagar requested the media to respect her family’s privacy and asked to stop spreading false information. Her note read, “I am deeply saddened by the loss of my loving husband Vidya Sagar. I sincerely request all media to respect our privacy and sympathise this situation. Please stop further broadcast of any false information on this matter. During these difficult times, I want to express my gratitude to all those good hearts who helped and stood with our family. I would like to thank all the Medical Team who tried their best, our Chief Minister, Health Minister, Radhakrishnan IAS, Colleagues, Friends, Family, Media & My loving fans for sending love and prayers. Thank You, Meena Sagar (sic).”

Earlier, Meena’s close friend, actor Khushbu Sundar also requested people to not spread misinformation about Vidyasagar’s death and that he didn’t die of Covid-19. “I very humbly request the media to be a little responsible. Meena’s husband had Covid 3 months back. Covid worsened his lung condition. Pls do not send out a wrong message & create any kind of fear or cause flutter by saying we lost Sagar to Covid. Yes we need to be cautious, but pls,” she said.

Vidyasagar was a Bangalore-based businessman. He tied the knot with Meena in 2009 and they have a daughter named Nainika. Vidyasagar wasn’t keeping well ever since he got infected by Covid-19 in March. He was cremated on June 29 in Besant Nagar, Chennai.
