The Nandamuri family has been having a tough time of late after Nandamuri Tarakaratna suffered a severe heart attack and is being treated at Narayana Hrudayalaya in Bengaluru. 

In these tough times, the Nandamuri family needed a shoulder to lean on and Nandamuri Balakrishna has done just that will great poise and character.

Balakrishna was with Tarakaratna right after he was rushed to Kuppam hospital after crashing at Lokesh's Padayatra. Balakrishna was the one who assessed the situation and later decided to shift Tarakaratna to Bengaluru upon consultation with the team of doctors. 

Then, Balakrishna stayed with the family at the hospital in Bengaluru and made sure the Tarakaratna got the best possible medical assistance. 

Balakrishna was by his family's side all the while when they were in trouble and he proved to be the real head of the household in this hour of crisis. 

Apparently, Balakrishna even dialled up his political opponent Vijayasai Reddy who is currently at the hospital in Bengaluru, treating Tarakaratna and enquired about the latter's condition. He has stood like a rock when the entire Nandamuri family needed someone to stand strong.
