The film industry has lost one more gem in the form of Kannada Power Star Puneeth Rajkumar, who died of a cardiac arrest. People love him for his off-screen presence more than his on-screen presence. The star has a kind heart and has been carrying out humanitarian works like supporting education for the girl child, taking care of old age homes, and supporting Goshalas.
The demand to honour Puneeth Rajkumar with Padma Shri is receiving momentum with his fans, people, and even politicians supporting the demand and urging the Karnataka Chief Minister to recommend Puneeth’s name for the award. The list of personalities who are supporting the posthumous award for Power Star is growing with each passing day.
Media reports are abuzz that, the likes of Karnataka Cabinet Ministers, Agriculture Minister BC Patil, Tourism Minister Anand Singh, and a few others are batting for the demand to confer Puneeth with Padma Shri award posthumously as a token of acknowledgment of the service and help he has been doing all these years.
The humanitarian works done by Puneeth Rajkumar like helping orphans, old age homes, and Goshalas came to light after the actor breathed his last earlier this month. People who saw Puneeth as a leading hero came to know that he is a hero off the screen too.
