Chiranjeevi Former Son-in-Law Sirish Bharadwaj Passed Away

Shirish Bharadwaj, 37, passed away on 19 June 2024. He was the former son-in-law of Padma Vibhushan Chiranjeevi. Shirish was admitted to the hospital due to respiratory problems. Unfortunately, his health deteriorated rapidly and he breathed his last.

Shirish Bharadwaj was previously married to Sreeja Konidela. Their marriage and the events that followed have garnered a lot of media attention in the last few years.

Who was Shirish Bhardwaj?

Shirish Bharadwaj was an engineer by profession and later joined politics. He married Chiranjeevi’s daughter Sreeja Konidela in 2007. Shirish and Sreeja met in college where they pursued their respective degrees. Sreeja was studying chartered accountancy while Shirish was completing his engineering degree.

Their love story began in college and lasted for four years. Despite opposition from their families, they decided to get married.

How did their marriage begin?

Sirish and Sreeja eloped and got married on 17 October 2007. The ceremony took place at the Arya Samaj Mandir in Secunderabad, Telangana. The media and police were present at their wedding due to the controversial nature of their elopement.

Initially, the couple seemed happy, but their marriage soon faced challenges and controversies.

What went wrong in their marriage?

In 2011, Sreeja filed a complaint against Sirish and his mother. She accused them of harassing her for dowry. This started a long legal battle. The couple separated and finally got divorced in 2014.

The court granted Sreeja the custody of their daughter Nivriti. After the divorce, Chiranjeevi brought Sreeja and their daughter back to live with him.

How did their life change after the divorce?

After the divorce, Sreeja started a new chapter in her life. On March 28, 2016, she married her childhood friend Kalyan Dev in a grand ceremony in Bengaluru. In 2018, the couple welcomed a daughter Navishka. However, they separated the same year.

On the other hand, Shirish Bharadwaj pursued a career in politics. He remarried a doctor practising in Hyderabad. Despite his professional efforts, he died untimely due to his health problems.

What impact did it have on their families?

The separation and legal battles caused great damage to both the families. Sreeja found support in her father Chiranjeevi, who stood by her during challenging times. Returning to her ancestral home brought stability to her and her daughter Nivriti.

Shirish’s involvement in politics shows that he was trying to move forward in his life. However, his health problems held him back in his later years.

What is the current status of Sreeja and Shirish?

Sreeja lives with her family and focuses on raising her daughters. Her marriage to Kalyan Dev, though short-lived, was an important event in her life. She continues to be a supportive figure for her children.

Shirish Bharadwaj’s death marks the end of a tumultuous chapter. His political career and second marriage were part of his efforts to rebuild his life. His demise is a tragedy for his family and those who knew him.
