Smt. Parvarthamma RajkumarAccording to my opinion there is no need to go to college to learn. From the day today experiences we can catch up with lot of knowledgeable things to learn. Time sense is what I have learnt from my husband Dr.Rajkumar. When the shooting car never used to turn up at the right time he used to go to shooting in cycle rickshaw. I was telling him when the producer has not sent the vehicle why do you bother. It is my responsible job to be present at the exact time of shooting he was replying. 
 
Still from Mohini BasmasuraFor my hubby learning was a top priority. For 'Mohini Basmasura' he learnt Bharatanatyam very quickly and his dance performance in the film was a well discussed at that time. He never used to allow me to his room when the shooting was on. One day I just peeped in to find out the practice he was making before a huge mirror. For reaching to perfection one has to do practice like this he replied. 
 
He used to mug up the dialogue before his shot. You give any lengthy dialogue it was so easy for him. He has got splendid memory power. 
 
Still from Ramanujaya YuddaIt was in the Gubbi company days. Rajkumar used to do the role of Sadhu. He did that role for many years. Once he said he is not interested in doing that role. Give me the role of 'Gopichand' Rajkumar asked. You have to remember lot of dialogues it is not possible was complaint on him. Give me the role and then see he replied. When he performed in that role everyone was perplexed at his capacity. 
 
In 'Ramayana' stage play Srikantamurthy was doing the role of lord Srirama. He was absent for a few days and Rajkumar performed the role of lord Srirama. When Srikantamurthy came back Rajkumar was back to Bharatha role. After a few show people started talking Rajkumar suits the role of lord Rama. Srikantamurthy immediately asked Rajkumar to play lord Rama role in future on stage. 
 
To see my husband in the role of Sri Basavanna is my wish still pending. My father had once told me that Rajkumar suits perfectly to the role of Sri Basavanna. I had that in mind and tried out two times to see my husband in that role. That could not materialize. 
 
Not caring for his health Rajkumar used to work in the interest of the producers. He met with a small injury during the shooting of 'Shravana Banthu' for his eye. I wanted to cancel shooting and take him to eye doctor. 'You are also producer. You should not think of canceling the shooting' he told me. If I am the producer I would have cancelled the shooting because health is more important than wealth, I said. For a producer his money is more important he told me and took some treatment on the sets itself. 
 
One he fell down from 35 feet height from a horse. From then on I always used to accompany him. Keeping me in dark for the film 'Huliya Halina Mevu' he took part in a jumping scene. I came to know about it at the editing table. 

See you next Tuesday. Namasthe.
