Legendary singer and music director Ghantasala is known for his down to earth attitude. Other legendary singer SP Balasubrahmanyam who crooned many songs composed by Ghantasala shared a shocking secret about him.

SPB said, “Ghantasala was scoring music for Ali Baba Nalabhai Dongalu (1970). For that along with him, myself and others should sing a song. To tell that to me, he went to Kodandapani's house to get my address. He was not there. So, Ghantasala was waiting there sitting near an asbestos sheet smoking cigarette waiting for his arrival. At the same time, I went there and was shocked to see him and asked 'What master. Why are you are sitting here'. He replied 'Nothing. I came to find your address from Kodandapani's house. He was not there and was waiting for him. I am tuning music for Ali Baba. You and I should sing a song. When you are free, come for rehearsal".

I questioned, for that you should come personally. You could have sent a word with production team. Ghantasala replied, 'No problem Balu. I had some other work and came this way and planned to get your address from Kodandapani house.’ Hearing this I with tears in my eyes offered my pranams.
