We have heard and read many reports about many yesteryear actors & actresses and their families suffering from financial slump after they have fallen from their glory. Now according to a news report, the family of a yeteryear's comedy actor and Late. Gunupudi Viswanath Shastri, who is known with the name of 'Iron Leg Shastri', is added to that list. Iron Leg Shastri is well known for his comedy characters in the movies like 'Appula Appa Rao' & 'Pekata Pappa Rao'. He had serious health issues before he died, he had heart problem and Jaundice in his last days. He had died on 19th June, 2006 at his Tadepalligudem due to an heart attack. His family is reported to be appealed to Film industry and AP Government to support them financially. We don't know whether they got the support or not. But according to the latet news reports, the family is in dire state financially that the wife of Iron Leg Shastry is feeding her children by working as a cook in Hindu Temples. An image of this news doing circles in the social networking sites explaining the slump that the family is in and urging all the people to do their bit to save the family of a man, who helped us to laugh with his acting.

We are sorry for the state of that family and urge all the audience to help the family by donating whatever they can. For all the details on how to help please refer the above picture.
