Kamal reveals his Shruti issues!

Addressing the gathering at the first anniversary celebrations of Kalaignar Isaiyaruvi TV and the launch of a new comedy channel Sirippoli, Kamal was candid about various issues. When referring to his singing talent, Kamal said that initially his singing attempts were received with criticism during the earlier days. "They used to comment that my Shruthi was not perfect. And now that she's grown up I've no issues with that," Kamal mentioned referring to his daughter, intending pun.

Kamal also appealed to the fraternity not to address Tamil cinema as Kollywood. "It rhymes with Kaali Payale – a swear word my father used on me when I was a kid," he quipped. He signed off by offering two choices to the audience - to either take his words seriously or to take it lightly since it was delivered during a comedy channel's event.

The event, held at Taj Coramandel Hotel last night, was attended by Rama Narayanan, Abirami Ramanathan, R B Choudry, Napoleon, Charlie and other celebrities.
