Not Family, But This Guy Always Stood By NTR

Junior NTR’s emotional words about SS Rajamouli’s son SS Karthikeya have touched many hearts. At the pre-release event of Don’t Trouble the Trouble, NTR spoke openly about his personal journey and the special bond he shares with the Rajamouli family.

NTR attended the grand event as the chief guest. The event was held in Hyderabad ahead of the film’s October 2 release. Fahadh Faasil is the lead actor, while Shashank Yeleti directed the fantasy entertainer. The film is presented by SS Rajamouli and produced by Shobu Yarlagadda, Prasad Devineni and SS Karthikeya.

While speaking at the event, NTR became emotional when he talked about his early days in the film industry.

NTR recalled the opening of his first film, Ninnu Choodalani, in November 2000. He said his mother did not attend the event because she usually did not go out, while his father also wanted him to stand on his own feet.

"I went there alone and I was scared. I was very hurt that day. I felt that there was no family member beside me to hold my hand and give me courage," NTR said.

He then spoke about how things changed in his life. NTR said that he felt God had listened to his pain and gave him a family through his fans.

"My fans became my family. Maybe God thought that my family was still not enough, so He made the Rajamouli family my family," NTR said.

He then specially mentioned Karthikeya.

"Keeravani garu, Valli garu and everyone in the Rajamouli family became my family members. Along with all of them, God gave me Karthikeya as someone who always stood by me," NTR said.

NTR also remembered the time when he first worked with Rajamouli. He said that during Student No. 1, he was 17 years old, while Karthikeya was only eight.

He added that Karthikeya has been behind many important moments in his journey. NTR became emotional while talking about the support he received from him.

"Whether it was Baahubali or RRR, it was Karthikeya behind everything that happened. Even behind my every smile, it is him," NTR said.

He also added that he used to ask his mother why she gave birth to only him but later realised that if he had own brother then it would be like Karthikeya.
