Reflecting upon the life of Puneeth Rajkumar, I find myself deeply moved by his humility and self-awareness. Despite being born into a dynasty of cinematic greatness, he never let it overshadow his own journey or cloud his perspective. His admission about feeling “irked” by the special treatment he received, and his sense of guilt for the privileges bestowed upon him due to his lineage, speaks volumes about his character.
Puneeth Rajkumar, a well-known Kannada actor, carved out his unique journey in the movie industry. This day marks three years since his passing, and admirers from all over India are honoring the enduring impact he left on the world of entertainment. In an interview with Silvers Screen India back in 2016, Puneeth Rajkumar opened up about how he felt regarding the special consideration he received during his acting career.
The Kannada actor expressed his discomfort as he acknowledged receiving special privileges in his acting profession. Rather than experiencing joy, he felt a pang of guilt, recognizing that these advantages were likely due to his famous father’s reputation (Rajkumar).
Puneeth shared that he often felt separated from others, not due to his own actions, but because of his family connections. At the time, he was too young to fully understand the situation, but he distinctly remembers feeling a sense of guilt.
Additionally, Puneeth shared his sentiments about falling short compared to his father’s remarkable accomplishments. He expressed, “By the time he reached my age, he had already completed a hundred films. His influence has created a standard that is tough to match. My siblings and I are all exceptional individuals who have achieved notable feats by the time I was still a teenager. Even now, they surpass me in every aspect. It feels like I’m constantly playing catch-up.
As the cherished youngest son of Dr Rajkumar, I’ve always been proud of my lineage. Back in 1999, I tied the knot with the lovely Ashwini and together we were blessed with two beautiful daughters. The nation was left stunned when I departed this world on October 29, 2021, following a tragic cardiac arrest at a gym in Bengaluru. In the wake of my sudden passing, my last film, Gandhada Gudi, was released posthumously in 2022.
