Life needs to be like a roller-coaster ride with ups and downs. Otherwise, it's not exciting.
I believe in doing what I am best at.
I am a very shy person who is just close to himself. So I would refrain from talking about my personal life.
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 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.

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 am a commercial hero, and I will never leave that genre. And having an image of a mass hero, I will spoil the whole script in the wake of being too experimental.
I needed to have a journey of my own to tell my son tomorrow. To even discuss my journey with my family, I have to set an example.
I am a typical Telugu boy dominated by all the qualities of a Hyderabadi because I was born and brought up here.
When my son was born, I spent a lot of time with him. I came to know a better side of me that I didn't know till now. He is actually the biggest change in my life.
The best thing after my son is my work - and he taught me to be genuine.
I have been a very 'hyper boy' right from childhood. And while many liked that trait of mine, my friends didn't.
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.
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'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.
If my fans only want me to do a certain kind of films, then 'Naanaku Prematho' would have failed miserably. They've entrusted me with the freedom to select good and different scripts.
I was meant to be an actor, and I realised that only after my son was born.
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.
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.
