The popular comedy hero of Kannada cinema Jaggesh on his 40th birthday donated an ambulance to the people of Turuvekere his hometown to serve the needy free of cost. Last year Jaggesh donated similar vehicle for Periyapatna Taluk of Mysore district. I am not a Tata or a Birla. I am doing service to my capacity said Jaggesh.

Cutting a huge cake of 40 kilograms with his wife Parimala and second son (a sweet boy) at Bangalore Press Club on Sunday evening Jaggesh admitted that 20 percent of his earnings goes to social service. There is no politics in what I do. In my next birthday I am intending to provide two Cheetah vehicles to Police department in Bangalore, Jaggesh announced for a thundering applause from his fans. Even the media attended appreciated the intentions of Jaggesh. My Non Resident friends have come forward for help in my social activities. I call upon my fans and well -wishers to think of development in their own way in their area. Then we can construct a good society. Jaggesh was speaking extremely well, on his 40th birthday addressing the media.

Twenty years ago I was struggling to get Rs.300. I know the hard days and never forget it. Today I have earnings for my family and it is also left in excess. That’s why I am doing this social service. I cannot forget Mr K.V.Raju who helped me with Rs.300. I have in a corner of my heart that I should do something good to him one day in a big way.

When I look back I feel that everything happened in my life very fast. Starting from my marriage at the age of 20 to filmdom ups and down it is ‘chaka chak’.

Jaggesh did not forget to thank the media persons who have contributed 25 percent to his success.
