Dr Rajkumar is the only actor in the entire world who as an actor (that too with 3 to 4 crores of fan following), has never smoked a cigar/cigaratte or acted as drunkard or even held a glass of any kind of liquor in his hand in any of the movies. In real life also he is a non-alchoholic.
Last but NOT the least, which I liked of Rajkumar is He was Very Humble and Honest Human Being. Some of his old films do remind me of my childhood days, he will always be remembered as a wonderfull wonderfull actor !
Long Live Legend !
