Like a true saint, Reddy has taught millions of his viewers of the importance of sharing and the easiest way of it is to share good food with others.
We may never able to see Grandpa Reddy cooking again as he has left all of us but one thing for sure, he will forever have a special place in our hearts. Rest in peace, Grandpa Reddy.
