Karwar, Aug 15: Veteran Kannada actor Sadashiva Brahmavar, is now helplessly wandering on the streets of Karnataka. The miserable condition of the actor came to light when a few residents of Kumta in Uttara Kannada district recognized him.

Sadashiva, who has acted in more than 150 Kannada movies and several TV serials, has bagged several awards too.

The actor revealed that he was forced to leave his Bengaluru house by family members. A few youths in Kumta came helped him with food and accommodation in a hotel.

Sadashiva said his children lived in Bengaluru but nobody was taking care of him, and that one of his sons was an employee of a nationalized bank. The actor, however, refused to reveal his son's address.

The actor said when he was forced to leave his house, his family members also dumped several photographs and idols of ‘gods’ that he worshipped.

Not clarifying whether there was a dispute with the children, Sadashiva said he had left his village in Udupi in childhood for his love for theatre; he had to face many hardships in life and that his wife also was an artist.

The actor said he was a self-made man and had never sought help from anybody. "My destiny has brought me here; I will go where it takes me. I earned everything except money in life. The fame I earned was because of my hard work. Even in a place like Kumta people identified me and came forward to help," he said.

When cops told him that they would help him return to Bengaluru, Sadashiva refused. He said for the past several days he had been wandering from one place to another because he felt old age belonged to nobody.

The actor also thanked the youths who helped him. He said he had to go to Hubballi to meet somebody he knew. The youths accompanied him to the bus stand and bought him a ticket for Hubballi. He left on Sunday evening.

Prophet Muhammad reinforced the duty to be kind to parents.  A companion of the Prophet once asked him which of the many good deeds a man can do is the most loved by God.  Prophet Muhammad answered him by saying, “To offer the prayer in its proper time”.  The companion then asked, “And what is next?” to which Prophet Muhammad replied, “To be good and dutiful to your parents…”[1].  The responsibility to be kind and good to parents comes right after the greatest duty in Islam, the prayer.

Quran teaches me ....

 

“And your Lord has decreed that you worship none but Him.  And that you be dutiful to your parents.  If one of them or both of them attain old age in your life, say not to them a word of disrespect, nor shout at them but address them in terms of honour.” (Quran 17:23)

 

No word of disrespect should be uttered toward a parent, nor even a look of resentment or contempt.  Honouring parents can be considered a form of worship if the intention is to please Almighty God by respecting His commands.
