Kohli and Sharma Friday started a fundraiser on Ketto and made an initial donation of Rs 2 crore. Earlier, actor Priyanka Chopra Jonas, who is now based in the US, started a fundraiser.

Gowda had always wanted to meet director Swathi Ambarish. However, now donning the role of an

Kunigal. Gowda initially refused as he didn’t want to be gone for so long as it would take a whole day for only one family and he has been getting multiple calls for shifting the bodies in the city the past few days.
