Nani talks about his married life and convincing Anjana`s parents on `The Rana Daggubati Show`
The interaction took an endearing turn when Rana curiously asked Nani about his married life with Anjana Yelavarthy. A blushing Nani revealed how his wife Anjana’s family, comprising highly qualified individuals in technical fields, was starkly different from his background. He said, “She is the granddaughter of the famous and celebrated scientist, Mr. Yelavarthy Nayudamma. Anjana has a diary—his diary. On one of its pages, he`s written, “I met Mrs. Indira Gandhi today.” A few pages later, he writes, “After my breakfast with NTR Sir!”
“I honestly didn’t think our wedding plans would materialize. It was back when I had just started in the film industry. As actors, we don’t know what the future has in store for us. They (Anjana’s family) were all brilliant in academics.” When Rana questioned how he convinced his wife`s family of their marriage, Nani cheekily quipped, “Once you meet me, all such doubts get cleared. Those doubts stay only until you meet me.”
