Vijay Deverakonda Confesses He Lacked Money For Clothes

Every big name carries a past filled with struggle, and Vijay Deverakonda did not shy away from sharing his own. From Shahrukh Khan moving from serials to cinema, to Megastar Chiranjeevi starting out with blink-and-miss roles, the early years are rarely easy. At the success meet of Little Hearts, Vijay reflected on that phase of his life, speaking with a mix of honesty and humour that instantly connected with the audience.

As the chief guest, he brought a personal touch to the celebration by gifting the film’s cast merchandise from his clothing label, Rwdy. When the host joked that the team wore nothing but Rwdy during promotions, Vijay clarified that Mouli Tanuj Prasanth had been gifted his shirt while director Sai Marthand had bought his own. The moment turned lighthearted, yet it opened the door for a memory from his own early career.

Vijay recalled promoting Yevade Subramanyam in borrowed costumes because he could not afford to buy clothes then. It was a candid admission of how hard those years had been, and how resourcefulness often replaced luxury. His words stood as a reminder that glamour hides countless untold struggles, and that persistence is what shapes a star.

Before closing, Vijay praised the team of Little Hearts for crafting a film filled with freshness and energy. With Sai Marthand directing and Mouli Tanuj Prasanth paired opposite Shivani Nagaram, the movie has found its audience. For Vijay, who was last seen in Kingdom as a constable turned undercover agent, the confession added another layer to his public image, an actor who carries success but never forgets the path he walked to reach it.
