Mysuru: If ever there was a showman whom Mysuru has seen and who had a larger than life image it was the one and the only Ambarish, the Rebel Star, Mandyada Gandu and former Minister.
In the early 1970s and 1980s, this dashing young man was seen on the streets of Mysuru with his group of friends and his frequent haunts were Dhanvantri Road and Maharani’s College Circle where there is also a petrol bunk. He had a fascination for speed and he would be seen zipping on motorbikes or zooming in fancy cars.
