    Dear Chinna, Congratulations ! Though your major contribution has been to Kannada theatre, your talent has also been contributing towards enrichment of Konkani theatre as well. Often people from Kasaragod area have a tendency to affiliate with Karnataka, but see - the state of Kerala has recognised your contributions and comes up with this prestigious Award now. Hearty congrats ! Keep it up and continue to inspire your juniors.
