BENGALURU: Hattrick hero Shivaraj Kumar celebrated his 61st birth anniversary today in a grand manner with family members and a huge number of fans. The actor’s fans had gathered in front of his house at midnight itself to celebrate his birthday.

Shivarajkumar cut a cake brought by fans and friends and celebrated his birthday with them. Meanwhile, fans were seen bursting crackers to mark the celebration. Shivanna, as he is popularly known, did not celebrate his birthday last year due to the death of his brother, Power Star Puneeth Rajkumar.

Film industry artists, celebrities and fans also poured their love on social media with warm birthday wishes.

Later, talking to the media, Shivarajkumar said, “I had not celebrated my birthday for the past three years. Last year, I did not celebrate because of Appu’s sudden demise. Fans came to my house to wish me well on this day. This time, they should be happy to see me in a different role in the movies ‘Ghost’ and ‘Jailer”.

“We have grown up seeing Rajinikanth since childhood. Our families have had ties even in the past. I am happy to have acted in ‘Jailer’ with Rajanikant. The teaser of the movie ‘Ghost’ will be released at Santhosh theatre. It is even more fun to celebrate my birthday with fans”, he added.

ಕನ್ನಡ ಚಿತ್ರರಂಗದ ಖ್ಯಾತ ಹಾಗೂ ಪ್ರತಿಭಾವಂತ ನಟ ಶಿವರಾಜ್ ಕುಮಾರ್ ಅವರಿಗೆ ಹುಟ್ಟುಹಬ್ಬದ ಹಾರ್ದಿಕ ಶುಭಾಶಯಗಳು.

ನಟನಾ ಕೌಶಲದಿಂದ ಮಾತ್ರವಲ್ಲ ತಮ್ಮ ವಿನಯಶೀಲ ನಡೆ-ನುಡಿಗಳಿಂದಲೂ ಕೋಟ್ಯಂತರ ಜನರ ಪ್ರೀತಿ-ಅಭಿಮಾನಗಳಿಗೆ ಪಾತ್ರರಾಗಿರುವ ಶಿವರಾಜ್ ಕುಮಾರ್ ಅವರಿಗೆ ಆಯುಷ್ಯ ಮತ್ತು ಆರೋಗ್ಯದ ಭಾಗ್ಯ ಕೂಡಿ ಬರಲಿ ಎಂದು ಹಾರೈಸುತ್ತೇನೆ.… pic.twitter.com/logct9WcvI
