This very same day, seven years before, Tamil cinema lost its sense of humor. Born as Nageswaran Ceiyur Krishna, Nagesh went onto become the most celebrated actor- comedian the industry ever witnessed.
Known for an unusual body language combined with the ability to emote a variety of expressions, Nagesh's numerous collaborations with Balachander are all classics and not forgetting to mention his sparkling performance in Kadhalikka Neramillai, the highly dedicated artist never had a dull face in his entire career.
Also having his days as a successful hero, Nagesh became the busiest actor in tinsel town with more than 1000 movies to his credit. Giving a tough time for producers to buy his dates, Nagesh was one actor who could take up any kind of a role and excel in it.
So let's take the time to mark this day as the 'Humor Day' as paying a respect for the single most phenomenal force named Nagesh that entertained a generation of audience with memorable performances.
