By Dr. Veena Bharathi
When I met Puneeth Rajkumar for the very first time, it was on the occasion of the Grihapravesham function (house- warming ceremony) of The Lohit Farm House of Dr. Rajkumar, 30 miles from Bengaluru (on the Mysuru Road), during May-1983. Puneet’s original name was Lohit, which was also the name of the Farm House. My elder brother Jayasimha (who has been a close family friend of Dr. Rajkumar, continuing my father’s association with their family) had taken Chandru (of the then Krishna Talkies, Chamarajanagar) and me to the function.
