Auto Raja rues missed date with film superstar Vishnuvardhan

Says actor was going to introduce him to his friends, but passed away before it happened

They say procrastination is the grave in which opportunity is buried. Auto driver Raja, popularly known as Auto Raja, learnt this the hard way. A week before he passed away , Dr Vishnuvardhan asked him to meet him at a club. However, Raja postponed calling up the actor and fixing a time to meet. And on Wednesday, the legend passed away. Needless to say, the die-hard Kannadiga rues his lost opportunity. "I met Vishnuvardhan unexpectedly a few days ago. I had parked my auto near Rajajinagar entrance at around 3 pm. He was passing by and on seeing my auto he stopped his vehicle and spoke to me. He was very much impressed with my auto rickshaw. He said that I had maintained it very neatly and it looks like a temple inside," recalled Raja. He added that the two had spoken for 10 minutes.






Who's Auto Raja?

Auto Raja is known for his decorated vehicle being a virtual carrier of Kannada spirit. He is known to offer discounts to passengers on Rajyotsava (statehood day), distribute chocolates to children and drop pregnant women to hospitals for free.
