Popular actor Jaggesh started his film career with a minor role in Ibbani Karagithu, alongside Anant Nag and Lakshmi. Over time, he became a successful figure in Sandalwood. The versatile actor has appeared in successful films such as Premier Padmini and Kalidasa Kannada Meshtru.
The actor welcomed his first child at the age of 23 on January 5, 1987. Reflecting on this memorable day, Jaggesh recently shared a post on social media and now it’s garnering attention among the audience.
Gururaj is the eldest son of Jaggesh, and Yathiraj is the youngest. At the time of Gururaj’s birth, Jaggesh was unemployed while nurturing aspirations to establish himself in the cinema.
Jaggesh, driven by hard work and talent, waited outside the producer’s house. He even requested work from the directors. His affection for Gururaj is evident. Similarly, on January 5, son Guru shared heartfelt reflections on challenging times.
The caption of the post reads, “On January 5, 1987, at 2.56 minutes, Gururaja Malleshwar was born in the home of Leelabai Narsingh. At 23 years old, I, as a father with no money that day, celebrated the joy of my son’s birth. I’ve learned to stand patiently in front of the homes of many producers and directors, who I should approach for his sake. Happy birthday, son, may God bless you".
Several users have commented on the post. One user wrote, “Wishing your family continued blessings from Guru Raghavendra Ray". Another added, “Happy birthday to Gururaj, many more happy returns of the day with good health and happiness forever".
So far, Jaggesh starred in nearly 150 films, earning acclaim for notable works like Tharle Nan Maga, Bhanda Nanna Ganda, Mata, Eddelu Manjunatha, and Neer Dose, all receiving positive reviews from critics. Besides this, Jaggesh also directed Guru and Melkote Manja, released in 2012 and 2017, respectively.
After a decade of grappling with supporting roles, including stints as a comedian and a villain, Jaggesh found success as a lead actor. His breakthrough came with the 1992 film Tharle Nan Maga, which also marked the directorial debut of superstar Upendra. The film struck a chord with the audience and portrayed him as a leading actor.
