Tollywood director Puri Jagannadh is going through a deeply painful time after the passing of his mother. The beloved matriarch, who had recently celebrated her 96th birthday, passed away leaving the family in grief. The news reached fans through an emotional Instagram Stories post shared by Puri’s daughter, Pavitra Jagannadh, whose heartfelt words quickly spread across social media.
A granddaughter’s grief, shared with the world
Pavitra shared a photograph of herself with her grandmother, accompanied by a message that has moved thousands of people online. “Who will call me ‘chinna thalli’ now? Who will lovingly kiss me? I wish I had one more day with you. I would give you one more big hug, just like I did on your 96th birthday. I miss you, Nannamma,” she wrote.

The post struck a chord almost immediately. Fans, film industry colleagues, and well-wishers flooded the comments with condolences for the Jagannadh family. What made Pavitra’s tribute particularly touching was the specific, personal detail she chose to hold onto: not grand memories, but the simple nickname her grandmother had for her, and the warmth of a hug shared at a birthday celebration.
Industry rallies around the family
Several prominent figures from Telugu cinema reached out to express their sympathies. The outpouring of support reflects the respect the industry holds for Puri Jagannadh, one of Tollywood’s most recognizable directors, known for high-energy commercial films and a career spanning more than two decades.
Puri is currently occupied with a high-profile project involving Tamil star Vijay, making this personal loss all the more difficult to bear during a busy professional period.
A life that reached 96
The passing of a 96-year-old is, in one sense, a life fully and completely lived. But grief does not calculate years. Pavitra’s post captured exactly that truth: no matter how long someone has been with you, the absence they leave behind is immediate and total. Her words resonated with anyone who has ever lost a grandparent, which is perhaps why the post traveled so far so fast.
The Jagannadh family has not made any further public statement beyond Pavitra’s post. Fans and colleagues continue to send their condolences across social media platforms.
