As the news started doing the rounds, Meena asked the media to stop broadcasting any false information about her husband’s death. She also requested to give her family the privacy to grief for their loss in this tough time.
“I am deeply saddened by the loss of my loving husband Vidya Sagar. I sincerely request all media to respect our privacy and sympathize this situation. Please stop further broadcast of any false information on this matter,” Meena wrote on Instagram.

A couple of days ago, actress, producer and politician Khushbu Sundar urged the media to report responsibly after a section of it wrongly reported that Vidyasagar, the husband of actress Meena, had passed away due to Covid. Taking to Twitter, the actress said, “I very humbly request the media to be (a) little responsible. Meena’s husband had Covid three months back. Covid worsened his lung condition. Please do not send out a wrong message and create any kind of fear or cause flutter by saying we lost Sagar to Covid. Yes we need to be cautious, but please.”
Vidya Sagar was diagnosed with a lung ailment in March this year and had to be treated for it. Prior to that, he was down with Covid-19, but had managed to recover from it. The health condition of Vidya Sagar, who was hospitalised for the treatment of his lung problem, worsened on Tuesday night and he passed away around 7 pm. His funeral took place at the Besant Nagar Crematorium in Chennai at 2 pm on Wednesday.
