Varanata
Dr
Rajkumar's
first
son
Dr.
Shivaraj
Kumar
was
the
guest
in
the
weekly
talk
show,
Weekend
With
Ramesh,
hosted
by
actor/director
Ramesh
Aravind.
He
was
the
guest
for
the
episodes
aired
on
September
27th
and
28th.
Shivanna
first
congratulated
Ramesh
for
hosting
a
popular
and
beautiful
show.
The
show
has
been
appreciated
by
all
viewers
for
clean
content
and
celebrating
achievement.
Shivanna
gave
a
display
of
his
down
to
earth
mannerism
in
the
show.
He
discussed
in
detail
about
his
life,
before
and
after
entering
the
film
industry
He
shared
a
secret
about
his
family.
According
to
Shivanna,
ever
since
Appaji's
time
and
even
after
his
death,
the
women
had
the
last
say
in
house.
Shivanna
said
that
Appaji
stressed
on
giving
women
a
chance
to
make
decisions.
What
ever
said
by
women
is
never
questioned
in
the
house
according
to
the
star.
Shivanna
said
that
Appaji
always
ensured
that
all
the
family
members
were
together.
All
the
cousins
and
siblings
used
to
live
as
one
big
family.
Appaji
never
differentiated
between
any
of
the
children.
Nobody
was
Rajkumar's
children,
or
Nagatthe's
children
in
the
house.
Shivanna
used
to
roam
around
the
village
with
all
his
cousins
during
his
childhood.
He
said,
only
after
they
all
were
feeling
hungry,
would
they
come
home
for
eating
food
prepared
by
the
womenfolk
in
the
house.
Geeta
has
the
final
say
in
my
house
Shivanna
said
that
even
in
his
house,
his
wife
Geetha
takes
the
final
decision.
He
said
that,
being
an
actor,
he
has
to
act
with
all
beautiful
actresses.
Therefore,
there
are
times
when
his
wife
gets
jealous
of
this.
Shivanna
remembers
Appaji
Ever
since
he
started
to
act,
Dr
Rajkumar
never
said
anything
to
Shivanna.
Only
a
few
time,
he
asked
him
to
speak
with
slowly
to
bring
clarity
to
his
dialogue
delivery.
Shivanna
also
said
that
Appaji
used
to
tell
that
there
is
spark
in
his
eyes,
which
was
also
endorsed
by
Real
Star
Upendra.
Shivanna's
family
and
friends
speak
Remembering
their
childhood,
his
friends
fondly
remembered
the
days
they
spent
together.
Shivanna
used
to
travel
to
college
in
government
buses.
Even
though
there
were
seats
available,
Shivanna
used
to
travel
on
the
footboard.
All
the
friends
used
to
head
to
Gajanooru
when
holidays
were
declared.
When
Kamal
Hassan
visited
his
home
When
Shivanna
was
young,
Kamal
Hassan
had
visited
his
home
and
was
talking
to
Appaji.
Kamal
Hassan
inquired
about
him,
and
Appaji
said
that
he
was
the
eldest
son
in
the
house.
Shivanna
requested
to
hug
Kamal
Hassan
that
day.
After
hugging,
he
did
not
take
bath
for
two
days,
joked
Shivanna.
Kamal
Hassan
is
the
legend
Speaking
about
Kamal
Hassad,
he
said,
"I
used
to
watch
all
Kamal
Hassan
movies
on
first
day
first
show
basis.
I
used
to
use
my
father's
influence
to
get
the
tickets.
There
is
no
actor
like
Kamal
sir
in
India
and
I
salute
his
dedication
and
hard
work.
Appaji
and
Kamal
Sir
had
great
respect
for
each
other."
Shivanna
talks
about
Gurudutt
Shivanna
said
that
Gurudutt
has
fascination
with
English.
He
used
to
spend
most
of
his
time
in
my
college
instead
of
attending
the
classes
in
his
college.
Shivanna
added
that
he
misses
the
days
he
spent
in
Gajanuru
along
with
Gurudutt.
