Bengaluru’s famous Lalbagh flower show has begun on Friday. This year’s show has been themed on Kannada stars, Dr Rajkumar and his son Puneeth Rajkumar, who breathed his last in the year 2021.
Ahead of the 75th Independence Day, Bengaluru’s Lalbagh Botanical Garden is all set to host a flower show. This year’s show has been themed after late Kannada actors Dr Rajkumar and his son, Puneeth Rajkumar. The idea behind picking the theme after the Kannada star is to pay tribute to late actor Puneeth Rajkumar. The actor’s untimely demise last year left all his fans shocked.
Puneeth Rajkumar was one of the most-loved actors in the Kannada film industry. Therefore, the authorities of Lalbagh park decided to tribute the late actor at this year’s flower show.
Along with Puneeth Rajkumar, the Lalbagh park authorities will also be paying their tributes to his father, Dr Rajkumar.
