On 16 December 2008, Bhargavi was found murdered in her Banjara Hills house along with an orchestra troupe operator, Praveen Kumar, triggering speculation about the motive behind the deaths.
He was quite popular in the Nellore area and was married twice before, to Dolly (daughter of Guntur ex DSP) and Swapna (second heroine in NTR's film Subbu) in the past.
There were rumors that Bujji had married Bhargavi (on 12 February 2006) in the presence of his friends at Murali Krishna hotel (in Nellore).
The suicide notes say that Bhargavi and Bujji got married in 2006 and were separated in the past few months.
Bhargavi also wrote in the letter that she distanced herself from him after rising to fame with the release of Ashta Chamma.
