Allu Kanakaratnam, the grandmother of Telugu star Allu Arjun, passed away on Saturday at the age of 94 from age-related illnesses.

One of the videos from his December homecoming, after spending a night in jail after being arrested in connection with the death of a fan in Hyderabad during the Pushpa 2: The Rule premiere, showed the actor's close relationship with his grandmother.

When Pushpa 2 was released in December of last year, it broke a number of box office records.

However, the death of a fan in Hyderabad during a stampede at the Pushpa 2: The Rule premiere sparked controversy even before the movie's release. The actor later spent a night in jail after being arrested in connection with the case.

When the actor came home, his family became emotional, but what really won people over was his touching reunion with his grandmother.

The actor touched his grandmother's feet and then gave her a strong embrace in a homecoming video that went viral online. As she carried out a ritual to ward off the evil eye, she was seen in the video acting quite emotional. Another woman was observed using a coconut in a similar manner. Many people praised Allu Arjun's unique bond with his grandmother in the heartwarming video that went viral online.
