Well done! A few comments: (1) Prakash Raj used to be Prakash Rai. Like Aishwarya Rai, he is likely Tulu/Konkani speaker. From KTK, but not really Kannadiga. (2) Same deal for all the Shettys you list. Tulu/Konkani. (3) You missed a couple of "Sri" s in Sri Sri Sri Ravi Shankar ... didn't know his Kannada roots. coffee_rules and Gollum 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will not confuse Konkanis with Kannadigas in the future, are these 2 languages radically different? I thought Konkani was based in Goa because I did my college there and found locals to be either Marathi speaking or Konkani speaking. Reg Sri Sri I am not sure he is Kannadiga, AOL is based in Bengaluru but not sure about his mother tongue. I have seen him speak many languages, even Bengali !!! Again I think my list isn't accurate because my college friend with surname Hegde was Marathi speaking. Even CNR Rao could be Telugu speaking, after all IISc is based in Bengaluru and attracts scientists from all over India. You will have to correct me on those.

Sir Raman spent a lot of time in Calcutta as well, in fact his peak work (incl Raman Effect which fetched him Nobel) was when he was in the City of Joy....can we claim him as a Bong as well ? coffee_rules 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
