Mangaluru, Aug 1: The popular retail chain Cafe Coffee Day (CCD) outlets were reopened in Karnataka on Thursday after a two-day shut down across the state, in memory of its founder-owner VG Siddhartha.

The CCD outlets across the state were shut down on July 30 and July 31 following VG Siddhartha's demise.

Manoj, a regular customer of CCD, Mangaluru told media: "I am so happy to know that the CCD outlets here have reopened again. As we all know something really bad happened and we all were shocked by the news of VG Siddhartha's demise. I have been a customer of CCD since last 10 years. It's so good to hear that their business will not stop and it will continue in future."

The news of CCD outlets being reopened in Mangaluru, Karnataka, brought a smile on their customers' faces.

"It's really shocking to hear the news of VG Siddhartha's demise who was a great entrepreneur. CCD's tagline says, 'A lot can happen over coffee' and a lot has happened to the customers. I am here for my business meeting today. CCD was shut for two days and now the outlets have finally reopened," Hera Pinto, another customer told media.

"We just hope this place runs successfully but it's a huge loss to all the Coffee Day lovers," she added.

Siddhartha's body was found on Wednesday morning on the banks of Netravati river.

The 58-year-old businessman went missing since Monday evening from Mangaluru.

A massive search operation involving multiple teams of police forces along with the Coast Guard and NDRF was carried out to locate Siddhartha. Police had also deployed the dog squads and inflatable boats in the search operation and roped in local fishermen to search the river.

The last rites of India's 'Coffee King' were held on Wednesday at one of his coffee estates in his village situated in Chikkamagaluru district of Karnataka.

Mumbai, Jun 14: Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput committed suicide on Sunday, leaving all his fans and the industry in shock. While the reason behind him taking up the extreme step is still not clear, a look into Sushant’s social media feed suggests that things were not well for him for quite some time.

Sushant had been inactive on Twitter since months. His last tweet was on December 27, 2019. Since then, he did not even reply to any one on Twitter. Same is the case with his Facebook account as the last post on his timeline was on the same date. Interestingly, Sushant's Twitter cover picture is the popular painting - 'Starry Night', by Van Gogh, who had also reportedly committed suicide in 1890.

On Instagram, the young actor had last posted on June 3. It was a collage picture of him and his mother along with a cryptic caption that read, “Blurred past evaporating from teardrops Unending dreams carving an arc of smile And a fleeting life, negotiating between the two...#माँ”.

Was Sushant’s inactivity on Twitter, Facebook and his last cryptic post on Instagram a signal that the actor was having a tough time? Well, may be it will remain a mystery forever.
