Accordingly, the farmers and producers displayed the fruits grown in the coast at the fair. Let people think deeply about Lord Sri Krishna and reap the benefits of the fruit fair at Geeta Mandira so as to help the growers, the seer said. His junior Sushreendra Tirtha Swami, Bhavani Groups head Kusumodara Shetty, fair organiser and Bharat Mela's convener Ramanacharya, Puthige Mutt diwan Nagaracharya, its international secretary Prasannacharya, and others were present. Besides native varieties of fruits, fruit-bearing tree saplings, vegetable seeds, etc., were also on display and sale at the fair. The fair will be open to public from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. every day, Mr. Ramanacharya said.

From Divya Gopikumar to Abhirami Abhirami's journey in cinema began years ago under her birth name, but she later adopted the screen name inspired by her love for the iconic character in 'Gunaa.' She started out in Malayalam cinema with modest roles in films like 'Pathram,' before successfully transitioning to Tamil cinema with her debut in Vaanavil (2000). Her performances in 'Middle Class Madhavan,' 'Samasthanam,' and particularly ' Virumaandi ' opposite Kamal Haasan, established her as a versatile and expressive performer.

Trailer sparks conversation What has reignited the spotlight on her is a specific moment in the 'Thug Life' trailer, an intimate scene where her character shares a kiss with Kamal Haasan.
