As was reported by us yesterday, Ravi Teja gave a miss to his brother Bharat's funeral rites apparently because he was too shocked to see the badly mutilated body of the latter.

Sections of media, however, are speculating that there is more than what meets the eye.

It's not just Ravi Teja, but also the entire family (save the other sibling Raghu) who skipped the last rites. It's being said that the hero has been miffed with the waywardly lifestyle of late Bharat, who had been in news for the wrong reasons at times.

Sections of media have always had it that Bharat was addicted to alcohol beyond repair. While the responsible Ravi Teja tried to put him on the right track, he ultimately failed because he couldn't reform the stubborn brother.

Finally, the rites were overseen by Uttej, one of the well-wishers. They were attended by Ali, YVS Chowdhary and Raghu Babu as well.
