Nagaichuvai Nayagan S.Ve.Shekher

Me and my family with S.Ve.Shekhar, at our home.

He has been a wonderful friend for around 30 years now. He has not changed even a bit from the first time I ever saw him. His father, Mr.Venkataraman was a real nice person. One peculiar thing I would always remember would be the unique greetings that we receive every year from him. My daughter, Radhika, had spoken one of her first Ads at their recording studio, at the age of 3 :)

Another interesting snippet is that Shekher's father had done the ever memorable interesting character of Arvindswamy's Boss in the movie Roja, where he keeps asking for Vella Paniyaaram to actress Madhu.

My Guru, Dr.S.V.Ramanan

Kalaimamani Dr.S.V.Ramanan, Director, Jaishree Pictures, Chennai.

Around 30 years back, he is the one who introduced me as a Singer to the Advertisement field. I value him the most as my Father, Mentor, and Wellwisher, all through my career. I am always indebted to him for the wonderful exposure he has provided me with.

This picture was taken during one of the functions at his office. Playback Singer Sundarrajan is to my guru's right.
