G.V. IyerTucked in the history some facts exposed later become very costly in the life of concerned persons. While others say shame, shame the facts are facts. There are three hidden facts we would like to inform. Chitraloka portal discovered facts of three vital false announcements of the past. Veteran actor director G.V.Iyer opens up the hidden secret of 27 years back is related to musical Kannada film ‘Hamsageethe’ the other one a recent one that kicked up a row is related to Saakshi Shivanand. We would like to bring to your notice yet another fact pertaining to Kannada song Yee Dehadinda Dooravaadhe Yeke Aatmane…

Here is a brief explanation to the surfers:

Ananthanag, G.V. Iyer and others on the sets of `Hamsageethe' - File PhotoAt the felicitation to Rangakarmi B.V.Karanth and release of ‘Bannadha Badhukina Haadugalu organized by Spandhana in Bangalore the octogenarian film maker G.V.Iyer disclosed the fact he had hidden secret that it is not Balamuralikrishna who had scored the music for ‘Hamsageethe’ top classical music based film. Firstly there was no need for Iyer to take a dig at this fact he had hidden. He had belittled the prestigious personality Balamuralikrishna in his speech. 

It is T.G.Lingappa who tuned all the songs and B.V.Karanth supported the background music. But Lingappa had disagreed to use his name in the title card and Karanthji also quietly turned down as he did only background music. At this time in 1975 Balamuralikrishna who had sung maximum songs for this Ananthnag starring film ‘Hamsageethe’ contacted me and politely asked to use his name in the title card for music direction as he had sung so nicely. I obliged and that’s how the credit came to Balamuralikrishna told Iyer. But he did not know that by saying so he is discrediting the charisma of ace singer Balamuralikrishna.

Sakshi ShivanandIn the case related to Saakshi Shivananad the fact is different from what it has been reported. There was hot kissing scene in the film ‘Sainika’ and Saakshi was supposed to get close lip to lip with Yogishwar. For this she said for such scenes she has a sister look alike who obliges. This admission from Saakshi herself gave rise to double standard on the part of Saakshi Shivanand. The newspapers and this website also wrote on the reported statement of Saakshi Shivanand. You know why Saakshi told like that to the director of the film Mahesh Sukadhare. Just to avoid a kissing scene in the film.

We have one more information related to the song Yee Dehadinda Dooranadhe Yeke Aatmane…. from the film ‘Ohileshwara’. When the song was first broadcast in All India Radio by mistake the credit for the song went to Iyerji. The mistake continued for decades and Iyer did not bother to give correction. The original writer of this song is Yoganarasimha the veteran lyricist but it is credited for G.V.Iyer. To this day Iyer has not disclosed this fact to anyone. Why did he keep quiet? Is it because the popularity has tightened his lip from disclosing the fact?

Now it is left for you to comment to such a situation.
