Pradeep Machiraju has penned an earnest note in remembrance of his father, Panduranga Machiraju, who died earlier this month. The note was a tribute and a 'Thank You' note.

"Thank you for everything that I am today," Pradeep began his note saying. He wrote that his late father had taught him the art of handling hard things in life with dignity and grace.

Whatever Pradeep is going to do from now will be in his dad's honour and in celebration of his life and what he stood for. "You have been there for me, no matter what bad choices I have made in life. You lovingly repaired my broken spirit, and helped me plot a new course. You set me free to fly on my own once again," Machiraju wrote.

The TV anchor added that there is no greater love than that. "You will always be special to me. I will always remember you with love. I shall continue to entertain and spread smiles like you always wanted me to. Until we meet again," he noted.

The note has gone viral among Machiraju's fans. This is the first time he came out in the open about his late father.

The celeb was seen in '30 Rojullo Preminchadam Ela', which released on January 29 this year. He will continue to act in lead roles in the future.
