<p>This year also marks the versatile artist’s 60th year in Indian Cinema, as he made his debut as a 5-year old child artist starring in AVM Productions’ Kalathur Kannamma. His performance as a child artist on debut also won him the Rashtrapati Medal (President’s Gold Medal).

<p>“I didn’t know the purpose of my birth, but its almost like he knew the purpose of my birth that he mentored and guided me. When he was asked why I was allowed to go into the field of arts and cinema instead of becoming an IAS officer, my father replied that I could become an artist first and then an IAS officer. He asked me to follow my path and guided me with his love as a father” the actor fondly recalled.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Inaugurating a Skill Development Centre at his hometown, Haasan said, “You may ask what Kamal Haasan has studied, but all I have is 2-3 skills. This Centre is an expression of love from our family”&nbsp;</p>

<p>Haasan emphasized the importance of dignity of labour and one’s own profession by stating that he had worked at a salon for over a month and a half. “I am not saying this as someone born into a rich household, every job has own dignity and we need to respect it. We Indians need people with all kinds of skills and talents and we need entrepreneurs.”</p>
