Hundreds of fans of the actor gathered near his residence and the crematorium to pay their respects to his mother and support the actor in these times of distress.
Bommai paid tribute to Sudeep's mother with a statement that read, "The passing of Saroja, the mother of actor Sudeep, is a great loss for me and my family. She was the epitome of motherly affection, always welcoming anyone who visited her home with warmth. She was truly like Annapoorneshwari, serving food and treating guests with care and love for many years whenever we visited. Her absence has brought me personal grief. I will be visiting their home to pay my final respects. I pray that God gives Sudeep and his family the strength to bear this loss."
