Continuing His Social Services

Puneeth never ever publicized his charity work and social services he had been doing to society. Not even an inch of detail was known when Puneeth was alive. The public was aware that he does certain charities as a celebrity contributing his part to the poor. After the demise of Puneeth, when the details of his philanthropy activities were out, the public and celebrities across India were so surprised and their respect for Puneeth increased by leaps and bounds for doing so much social service silently. This behind-the-screen personality of Puneeth made him a true icon for his fans. Puneeth's wife and Rajkumar's family will continue to do the social services of Puneeth keeping his legacy flying high.
