Styling this look was about bringing together tradition, simplicity, and timeless elegance. ❤️
I chose a classic dhoti and kurta , with a focus on authentic craftsmanship and meaningful details. The dhoti was crafted from handwoven pure silk with a zari border, paired with a soft, handwoven black silk-cotton kurta for an understated and elegant finish.
The most special detail for me was the Gandaberunda embroidery —an iconic symbol of Karnataka representing strength, courage, and resilience. More than a design element, it was a meaningful way of carrying a piece of Karnataka’s heritage and identity to Australia, Melbourne for this special award moment @IFFMelb
A look that quietly celebrates culture, identity, and pride in our roots. ❤️

ನಿಮ್ಮ ಸರ್ಕಾರಿ ಹಿರಿಯ ಪ್ರಾಥಮಿಕ ಶಾಲೆ, ಕಾಸರಗೋಡು ಚಲನಚಿತ್ರದಿಂದ ಸ್ಪೂರ್ತಿಗೊಂಡು ನಮ್ಮ ತಂಡ 14ಕ್ಕೂ ಹೆಚ್ಚು ಸರ್ಕಾರಿ ಕನ್ನಡ ಶಾಲೆಗಳನ್ನು ದತ್ತು ತೆಗೆದುಕೊಂಡು ಮಾಡಿರುವ ಕಾರ್ಯ ದಿನಪತ್ರಿಕೆಯಲ್ಲಿ

ಪ್ರತಿಯೊಬ್ಬ ಕಲಾವಿದರಿಗೂ ಪ್ರಶಸ್ತಿ ತುಂಬಾ ಮುಖ್ಯ. ರಾಜ್ಯ ಸರ್ಕಾರವು ಕಲಾವಿದರ ಕೆಲಸವನ್ನು ಗುರುತಿಸಿ, ಪ್ರಶಸ್ತಿ ನೀಡಿ ಗೌರವಿಸುವುದರಿಂದ ಚಿತ್ರರಂಗಕ್ಕೆ ಹೆಚ್ಚಿನ ಪ್ರೋತ್ಸಾಹ ನೀಡಿದಂತೆ ಆಗುತ್ತದೆ.
2018ನೇ ಸಾಲಿನಿಂದ ಪ್ರಶಸ್ತಿಗಳು ಬಾಕಿ ಉಳಿದಿದ್ದವು. ಎರಡು ವರ್ಷದ ಪ್ರಶಸ್ತಿಗಳನ್ನು ನೀಡಿದ್ದಾರೆ. ಕೆಲವೇ ದಿನಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಇನ್ನೆರಡು ವರ್ಷದ ಸಿನಿಮಾ ಪ್ರಶಸ್ತಿಗಳನ್ನು ನೀಡಲು ಮುಖ್ಯಮಂತ್ರಿಗಳು ಸೂಚಿಸಿದ್ದಾರೆ. ಬಳಿಕ ಆಯಾ ವರ್ಷದ ಪ್ರಶಸ್ತಿಗಳನ್ನು ಮರು ವರ್ಷದ ಆರಂಭದಲ್ಲೇ ನೀಡುತ್ತೇವೆ ಎಂದು ಘೋಷಿಸಿದ್ದಾರೆ. ಬಹಳ ಸಂತೋಷ.
ಅಲ್ಲದೇ, ಕನ್ನಡ ಚಿತ್ರರಂಗದ ಬಹುದೊಡ್ಡ ಕನಸು ಫಿಲ್ಮ್ಸಿಟಿ ಬೇಕೆನ್ನುವುದು. ನಮ್ಮ ಬೇಡಿಕೆಗೆ ಮನ್ನಣೆ ನೀಡಿರುವ ಮುಖ್ಯಮಂತ್ರಿಗಳು, ಮೈಸೂರಿನಲ್ಲಿ ಫಿಲ್ಮ್ ಸಿಟಿ ನಿರ್ಮಾಣಕ್ಕೆ 160 ಎಕರೆ ಪ್ರದೇಶವನ್ನು ಮಂಜೂರು ಮಾಡಿದ್ದಾರೆ. ಕನ್ನಡ ಚಿತ್ರರಂಗದ ಪರವಾಗಿ ನಿಮಗೆ ಧನ್ಯವಾದಗಳನ್ನು ಸಲ್ಲಿಸುತ್ತೇನೆ.
ಸರಕಾರಿ ಹಿರಿಯ ಪ್ರಾಥಮಿಕ ಶಾಲೆ ಕಾಸರಗೋಡು ಸಿನಿಮಾವನ್ನು ಸಿದ್ದರಾಮಯ್ಯನವರು ಮೈಸೂರಿನಲ್ಲಿ ಚಿತ್ರಮಂದಿರದಲ್ಲೇ ನೋಡಿದ್ದರು. ಈ ಹಿಂದೆ ಕಿರಿಕ್ ಪಾರ್ಟಿ ಚಿತ್ರಕ್ಕೆ ಅವರಿಂದಲೇ ರಾಜ್ಯ ಚಲನಚಿತ್ರ ಪ್ರಶಸ್ತಿಯನ್ನು ಸ್ವೀಕರಿಸಿದ್ದೆ. ಇದೀಗ ಮತ್ತೊಂದು ರಾಜ್ಯ ಪ್ರಶಸ್ತಿಯನ್ನು ಅವರ ಕೈಯಿಂದಲೇ ಪಡೆದುಕೊಂಡಿರುವುದು ನನ್ನ ಭಾಗ್ಯ.
