RIP Sahasa Simha

I was woken up by a sms which carried the message of sad demise of my favorite actor.
I did not believe the news till I saw TV. Yes. It was true. Vishnu was no more…

Karnataka’s favorite son Dr VishnuVardhan passed away on the wee hours of 30th December 2009. It’s indeed a great loss for Karnataka. It can’t be worse due to the fact that Ashwath had died on the previous day. The twin untimely death has created a void in Kannada film industry. It’s very hard to fill up the vacuum.

Popularly known as Sahasa Simha he has acted over 199 Kannada movies. He has acted in several Hindi movies. Not to forget his episode in Malgudi Days.

I will always remember him for Nagarahavu. Die hard patriot, he was involved in many Kannada patriotic songs.
He was always at the fore-front. Be it was Kargil fund collection or controlling the crowds at Dr Raj funeral.

We have lost a true human being.
