He was the fourth guest of Zee Kannada channel’s popular show Weekend with Ramesh Season 5. Ramya was the first guest on this show.

The 80-year-old opened up about the reason behind not getting married.
During the show, he shared, “There should be freedom, there should be no bondage. Now I can go wherever I want and stay as long as I want. Marriage is not a good fit for this”. He further added, “Many people marry for a variety of reasons. Some people marry to care for their parents, manage the household, or for other reasons. I never felt compelled to marry”.
Dattanna previously stated that some people stay together till the end because they have chosen to be husband and wife. “I don’t think I should marry because I desire temporary happiness and a quick answer to my difficulties,” he added.
Earlier, in an interview he had stated, “When I was working at HAL (Hindustan Aeronautics Limited) before I started acting in movies, my work pressure was a little too much. I had to roam around on a work basis, and there were many transfers. So, I used to eat in canteens and manage, and there was no time to settle. I used to roam around and never gave a thought to marriage. My opinion on marriage is different. My profession never supported marriage”.
