Admire your work just like everyone else! Best wishes!"

Another fan got concerned and asked if everything was alright. "Suddenly? Is everything alright? That's so surprising for the fans. We really like your acting and movies. We already lost a gem and talented actor like SSR. We don't want to lose you! Take a break from movies but Bollywood needs talented actors like you!! Come back soon and take care of your family and your 'mental health'.

Another fan was reminded of former Indian cricketer and coach Rahul Dravid. “Reminds me of the retirement of Dravid who retired while he was still the best in overseas tests. Aura: 99999+ ...Respect to you sir for prioritizing what seems right to you.”

"Go ahead. Fill your cup then be back," wrote another fan. Another requsted, "Whattttttttttttttttt! No please. You are such a good actor, we want to see you in more movies." A user wrote, "Already kafi dukh hai ek aur badha dia aapne."
