The Kannada Cinema Artists Association honored the two top award winners at the recently announced National awards – Prakash Raj best actor for ‘Kanchivaram’ and Umashree best actress for ‘Gulabi Talkies’. Dr B Saroja Devi presented a silk saree to Umashree garlanded her with huge jasmine flower and handed over the fruit basket. The former Union Minister and rebel star Ambarish garlanded Prakash Raj, presented a memento and handed over the fruit basket at GM Rejoyz on Tuesday evening.

I don’t want to present Sarees but a necklace to Umashree. There are many in my house it is left to my wife Sumalatha to present one to Umashree said Ambarish that evoked a big laugh in the auditorium. The actual actors have really won the national awards stated Ambarish.

My reading books, watching films, staging plays and conversing with people here is the great basement for my career in Tamil and Telugu films. Kannada Cinema artists Association honoring is something more than national award for me said Prakash Raj responding to the honor.

Actress Umashree remembered the series of Sarees given by Dr Jayamala for state, international and national award time and thanked Saroja Devi Amma for presenting the silk Saree to her on this occasion. The lessons I have learnt in my life has given me fruits. There are only 10 percent in this artists field who are with luck and rest of all have come up with hard work felt Umashree.

Dr Jayamala artist, producer cum KFCC President called upon all the senior actors today to take up at least two meaningful films in a year.
