Mysore/Mysuru: Dr. Raj Kumar is a personality that uplifted and promoted the rich culture of Karnataka and its heritage both on the screen and off the screen. There is nothing that has not been said about this legend or there is anything left to say about.
Feb. 8, 1976 is a day to remember for all his fans and all those who love Kannada, Karnataka and its cultural heritage as this was the day when he was awarded Honorary Doctorate for acting by the University of Mysore (UoM). It has been 45 years since then. He later went on to win Dadasaheb Phalke Award and was even conferred with Padma Bhushan.
