Amaravati: Tollywood actor Nandamuri Taraka Ratna fainted during TDP general secretary Nara Lokesh’s padayatra at Kuppam in Chittoor district of Andhra Pradesh.
Taraka Ratna was admitted to the hospital and her condition is said to be stable.
The incident took place when a stampede-like situation broke out outside the mosque Lokesh had visited soon after starting his 4,000-km-long trek.
A large number of Telugu Desam Party (TDP) workers stormed after Lokesh left the puja venue. In the melee, the actor fell down and fainted. Local TDP leaders admitted him to a private hospital in Kuppam.
Taraka visited Ratna’s uncle and popular actor N. Balakrishna in the hospital. Later, the young actor was shifted to a hospital in Bangalore.
Taraka Ratna is the grandson of TDP founder, legendary actor and former Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh NT Rama Rao. He is the cousin of Jr. NTR, Kalyan Ram and Lokesh.
It is said that Taraka Ratna, who made her film debut in 2002 and has acted in about a dozen movies and web series, is keen to contest the assembly elections to be held next year.
