Actor and former Bigg Boss contestant Chandan Achar’s love for

Kannada

was the focus at the Kannada Habba at

Teresian

College recently. This was Chandan's first public appearance in Mysuru since his stint on

Bigg Boss Kannada

.

Addressing the student's community, Chandan said, “I am honoured to take part in this festival that celebrates the pride of Kannada language and the land. As we all know, Kannada is one of the oldest languages in our country, the onus is on students to ensure it thrives over the next hundred years.” Chandan went on to enthrall the gathering by singing

Namma Naadu

Karunadu along with them. He also recited few lines from writer

Ranna

’s magnum opus Gadayauddha and requested the youngsters in attendance to explore the context of the lines. Chandan was later felicitated by the college authorities.

Meanwhile, Chandan also drops by Bahuroopi national

theatre

festival

The Bahuroopi National Theatre Festival holds a special place in Chandan's life. “As a college student, I had covered the event for our news bulletin. Later, when I decided to become an actor, I began watching plays more seriously to develop my acting skills in me,” he says.
