The most eligible bachelor in the Kannada filmdom lyricist, music director for over 2000 songs and 27 films respectively – Amruthavarshini fame Kalyan has at last found an answer for the delay in his ‘Kalyana’ (Madhuve).

The alliance that is coming to him asks the basic questions first and then shifts what you are doing for earning. Very promptly Kalyan inform them that he is writing songs and scoring music. Quickly comes another question from would be bride side – that’s OK tell us what job or employment you have to support your life after marriage. Kalyan immediately goes blank and shift to his drawing room in gloom.

It has become the toughest part in life for Kalyan to convince would be bride side that he is eking out a living from writing songs and composing music.

Kalyan looks at the sky and remember lord Venkateshwara to solve the crisis he is facing. Nine years of stay in Kannada filmdom writing so many songs winning awards taking part in so many film functions – only the filmdom knows who is Kalyan and the rest of the world especially in Karnataka people are not aware of me and my profession that is absolutely supporting my life says Kalyan in a choked voice.

Ever since he came to limelight – that is after his 45th film –Nammura Mandhara Hoove - Kalyan has been doing good service to the society. He is offering the basic needs for old age people on the birthday of his parents. On his birthday (January 1st) he has been taking responsibility of education of two children up to 10th standard.

Such a magnanimous personality Kalyan has won an award given by Thiruvalluvar people’s Welfare Association. He has received the title ‘Prema Kavi’ (which he is already to Kannada filmdom) from the Karnataka chapter of the association. That was the occasion for Kalyan to meet his press friends.

We only wish him ‘Kalyanamasthu’.
