The tragic news of Spandana’s passing elicited condolences from the highest echelons of Karnataka’s leadership. Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar took to their respective platforms to express their sympathies. Siddaramaiah’s heartfelt message acknowledged the shockwave caused by Spandana’s sudden departure, extending prayers for her eternal peace. He also extended his sympathies to the families of Vijay Raghavendra and BK Shivaram, who share in this sorrow.

DK Shivakumar, equally moved by the loss, recounted his recent meeting with the couple and expressed his sorrow at Spandana’s sudden passing. In his tribute, he wished for her soul to find rest and offered condolences to her loved ones.

In an intimate conversation with the media, Spandana’s brother-in-law Srimurali shared a poignant detail about her last moments. He revealed that Spandana peacefully fell asleep on the night of August 6 but did not wake up the following morning due to low blood pressure, marking the tragic end of her journey.

Spandana and Vijay Raghavendra’s love story began in 2007, culminating in a beautiful marriage that endured for almost 16 years.
