N. T. Rama Rao

“I love being called NTR's grandson. I never moved away from his shadow, maybe because I didn't try enough or maybe because I like it this way.”

“If I want to be remembered, I want to be known as a good actor. As times change, we, as actors, need to adapt with it.”

“I liked the story and wanted to do it, but I guess the time for the project came now, because I had to change my image through movies like 'Temper' and 'Nannaku Prematho' to finally suit the script of 'Janata Garage.'”

“In 'Bigg Boss Telugu,' I had to be myself, not Jai. So, every weekend, when I went to the television show, it helped me to get back to my real self.”

“I admit to have made some bad decision in the initial stage of my career and paid the price. I can't afford to do such a mistake again.”

“I am a very shy person who is just close to himself. So I would refrain from talking about my personal life.”

“I always live in the present. Every night, my mother asks me what I want for breakfast the next morning, and I say that I can only tell her that when I wake up the next day.”

“I was meant to be an actor, and I realised that only after my son was born.”

“I don't want to do a biopic. If there was one biopic I would do, it would be about my grandfather, the late N. T. Rama Rao. But his aura and charisma is completely different, and I am no match for him.”

“Life needs to be like a roller-coaster ride with ups and downs. Otherwise, it's not exciting.”

“I like to be challenged as an actor, allowing myself to take up diverse roles. Even audiences get tired of watching their stars in similar roles over and over again.”

“The best thing after my son is my work - and he taught me to be genuine.”

“When I was approached by Star MAA to host 'Bigg Boss,' the biggest-ever show on Telugu Television, I was intrigued by the challenge. I believe that the show will be a game changer.”

“I've been given the opportunity to carry forward the legacy with which people associate me; I can't escape it even if I don't like it. I take pride in carrying forward what's been given to me.”

“Whenever I am stressed, I cook a good meal for my wife. Many people don't know this, but I'm actually a great cook.”

“I don't want to waste my energy in other things; instead, I would put all that in reaching the next level in a craft that I love the most.”

“During the early stages of our married life, Pranathi did struggle to adjust for a few months. But she is a very strong woman mentally, stronger than me.”

“I believe in doing what I am best at.”

“I believe in doing what I am best at. I don't want to waste my energy in other things; instead, I would put all that in reaching the next level in a craft that I love the most.”

“I have been a very 'hyper boy' right from childhood. And while many liked that trait of mine, my friends didn't.”
