Brahmanandam's Elder Brother Makes Emotional Plea: Wait For Him To Call And Ask 'How're You Annaya'Aug 19, 2026, 22:00 IST
Brahmanandam, one of the famous comedians in India, entertained the Telugu audience with his impeccable comic timing and screen presence. He has been private about his personal life and hasn’t spoken much about his family members. As Brahmanandam guards his personal space, his elder brother, Sri Vadan, made an emotional appeal to him. In a viral video, he requested his actor brother to visit him and talk to him. In the emotional clip, Vadan said he hasn’t met Brahmanandam for years. He added that there were six siblings and only two are alive. In the video, Sri Vadan said Brahmanandam has recently visited their hometown but did not meet him. He was waiting for a phone call from his younger brother.
