Dr. Rajkumar aka Mutturaj is undisputed Thespian of Kannada film industry and Karnataka. A personality that has imbibed simplicity and values to core. A matinee Idol who did not misused Fan following to reap Political mileage, which is an aberration from other contemporary stars of his period who hijacked their 'Heroism-Image' on screen to gain political powers. A person who maintained same physic throughout his career is amazing, to be precise his son Mr.Puneet Rajkumar has recently revealed in an interview that Dr. Raj maintained 32 waist size throughout his career of 50 years read more.... An icon who practised YOGA rigorously, A Matinee Idol who was not only an actor but fabulous singer! Moreover He was a person known for simplicity who never looked into monetary aspects of acting and never exhibited stardom or superstar ego that celebrities are known to possess with them.

| Dr Rajkumar Doodle on ೨೪th april ೨೦೧೭ |
My school days friend by Preetam Gubbi, narrated this incidence to me, Once Preetam had visited Dr. Rajkumar's residence with his uncle who was a I.A.S officer. Believe me or not Dr. Raj who was at its peak of success as Superstar of Karnataka had not only welcomed the guests from gate to hall but for the entire period of their stay at his residence was Standing beside their sofa to serve the guests. But also had made a remark that "It's his honour to receive and serve a person who is highly educated!" This is an incidence which millions of Kannadigas have experienced while interacting with Dr. Raj.
The other incidence was Dr. Raj never use to carry big wallet or huge some of money with him, He had once lost his watch in a big crowd of fans also. This is an incidence I read in one of his biographies, Once Dr. Raj and his brother Mr.Vardanna were travelling in car and in a signal a street side beggar asked for money. Dr Raj asked his brother Vardanna to donate money and Vardanna handed over 500 I.N.R note, Dr. Raj was having an impression he had handed over only 100 Rupees and should have donated more, When Vardanna told him he donated 500 Rupees Dr. Raj was surprised as he was not aware that RBI had released Rs. 500 currency in India! He with an element of astonishment took another currency from his brother to realize How 500 rupees currency looks like!
Yes, He was an actor and singer to core and was detached from rest of the aspects which revolves around celebrity stars of Today. It's an honour to Google India also for releasing Doodle of such an amazing Human Being.

'ಬೇಡರ ಕಣ್ಣಪ್ಪ' ನಾಗಿ ನಮ್ಮ ಮುಂದೆ ಬಂದ ಮುತ್ತಣ್ಣ
ಬಂಗಾರದ ಮನುಷ್ಯನಾಗಿ ಮಿಂಚಿ
ದೇವತಾ ಮನುಷ್ಯನಾಗಿ ಚಿರವಾಗಿ ನಮ್ಮಲಿ ನೆಲೆಸಿರುವೆ ಅಣ್ಣ!
