Megastar Chiranjeevi has expressed shock over the sudden passing away of Vijaya Nirmala. Describing her as a rare, multi-faceted personality, Chiru said that she was the most gifted one since Bhanumathi.

"She found a permanent place in the hearts of the audience as a child artiste, actor and director. We won't be seeing such a great talent anytime soon. As Superstar Krishna garu's wife, she always stood by him and was with him every time. Her death is an irreparable loss not just to her family but also to the entire Telugu film industry. I pray that God gives immense strength to Krishna garu and Naresh in this hour of grief. My deepest condolences to their family," Megastar said in a statement.

Young Tiger NTR tweeted out saying, "Vijaya Nirmala Garu was a pioneering filmmaker whose life is an inspiration for many. Extremely saddened to hear the news. Extending my deepest condolences to her family."
