One incident. A few seconds. That’s all it took for some people to judge a man who has spent nearly 40 years doing the exact opposite.

From 1986 till today #Shivanna has probably been the most accessible superstar cinema industry has ever seen.

Every birthday, his home becomes everyone’s home. Barring exceptional years like his surgery or COVID, he has stood there for hours, meeting fans with every emotion that makes him human smiling, laughing, sometimes tired, sometimes even irritated. Cos unlike the perfectly edited clips on social media, real people experience real emotions.

Not just waving from a balcony. Not just folding his hands from a distance. Not disappearing on a holiday to avoid the crowd.

He stands there..patiently giving almost every fan a photo they will cherish for a lifetime.

Think about that for a moment.

Not 20 people.Not 50 people. Sometimes 500 to 1,000 people, one by one, each wanting a selfie, a handshake, a few seconds of their dream. And at 64 years of age, he still does it.

Is that normal? No, It is extraordinary.

I don’t need social media to tell me who Shivanna is.

My first photograph with him was taken around the year 2000, at his home in Sadashivanagar.

My latest photograph with him was taken in 2026, once again at his home, now in Nagavara.

26 years apart. Same warmth. Same openness. Same accessibility.

He is the superstar who allow fans to walk into their home, year after year, decade after decade, and patiently pose for photos?

Now ask yourself…

Can one irritated moment erase 26 years of tons of experiences like mine or 40 years of his character?

The same people who say Celebrities are humans too, are often the first to deny Shivanna the right to have one human moment.

If you selectively pick one or two seconds out of four decades of humility, accessibility, and love, it doesn’t reveal Shivanna’s character.

It reveals your intention.

Cos anyone who genuinely wants to know Shivanna won’t judge him by one viral clip.

They will judge him by the thousands of smiles, lakhs of photographs, countless birthdays n four decades of opening his doors to the people who made him what he is.

Some people are reacting to a few seconds.

The rest of #Karnataka is reacting to a lifetime.

40 years cannot be rewritten by a few seconds. And I have 26 years of photographs to prove it.

Yash is the guy if you want to make a truly Indian movie

This welcome address to the public at Ramayan event is enough to tell why

He addressed fans across languages, each like it’s his mother tongue 👌

My friend quit his ₹1.5 lakh/month job in Mumbai.

Everyone thought he was making the biggest mistake of his life.

He sold his flat for ₹3 crore and moved back to his hometown.

Instead of buying another luxury apartment, he bought land for ₹20 lakh, built a beautiful house for ₹50 lakh, and invested around ₹50 lakh to open two restaurants.

Today, both restaurants are listed on Zomato and Swiggy, run by his employees, and generate enough profit for him to save around ₹3 lakh every month.

He also invested ₹1.5 crore in fixed deposits, earning nearly ₹1 lakh every month in interest.

His Mumbai salary was ₹1.5 lakh/month.

Today, he earns around ₹4 lakh/month, owns his time, lives closer to family, and has no boss.

Sometimes, success isn't about moving to the biggest city.

It's about building something where you truly belong.

Great decision! We, the people of Karnataka, fully support this move. Just stay strong—we’ve seen leaders start like this but slow down due to pressure from higher authorities. Keep going!

🚶 BENGALURU'S FOOTPATHS ARE GETTING THEIR SPACE BACK

From July 1–10, the Greater Bengaluru Authority (GBA) is running a 'Safe Footpath Campaign' across 1,000 km of road network — clearing encroachments from footpaths in all five city corporations.

📊 WHY THIS MATTERS

30% of every 1,000 road accident deaths in Bengaluru are pedestrians. The Supreme Court has been clear: walking on a footpath safely is a fundamental right, not a privilege.

🚫 WHAT'S BEING CLEARED
➡Illegal parking on footpaths (vehicles will be towed)
➡Name boards, chairs, tables, and kiosks blocking pedestrian paths
➡Vendors and shops spilling onto walkways

✅ HOW IT'S BEING DONE
➡Notices will be issued before any action — not a sudden crackdown
➡Action will follow the Street Vendors' Protection Act and SC guidelines
➡Municipal officers, police, and clearance teams will coordinate
➡Damaged slabs and kerbs will be repaired alongside clearance

It follows the #1KmChallenge encouraging people to walk short distances instead of driving — Bengaluru is trying to become more walkable, one footpath at a time.

🗣️ WE NEED YOUR EYES ON THE GROUND

Let's make Bengaluru's footpaths walkable again — together.
