On this occasion, let's delve into some interesting aspects of her life.



Contrary to what some might think looking at her, Priyanka is a pure Telugu girl.&nbsp;

She then acted in 'Thimmarusu' with Satyadev and 'S.R. Kalyanamandapam' with Kiran Abbavaram, both of which also received positive responses. 











Her performance was particularly appreciated in 'Thimmarusu,' where her appearance led to some harsh trolling regarding her body shape.&nbsp;







However, Priyanka clarified in an interview that she doesn't pay attention to trolls or gossips but shares them with her friends and enjoys the humor in them.&nbsp;







She also starred in the anthology film 'Gamanam,' where she played a captivating role as a Muslim girl named Zara.&nbsp;







This year, she made a special cameo appearance in 'Tillu Square' starring Siddhu Jonnalagadda, making a striking impression in a pub scene.&nbsp;

#HBD Sri Gouri Priya:  Journey from 'Bol Baby Bol' to Tollywood’s Promising Heroine!


Is there a heroine in the South who has earned the kind of craze that heroes have? Yes, Anushka Shetty comes to mind immediately. Anushka has made a name for herself in Telugu, Tamil, and Malayalam industries by acting alongside leading heroes and excelling in lady-oriented films. Today is Anushka's birthday, stepping into her 43rd year. Let's explore some interesting aspects of her career.



Anushka, hailing from a prominent Tulu family, never thought she would become an actress. It was circumstances that led her into acting, she says.







Anushka graduated from Mount Carmel College in Bangalore, which is also the alma mater of star heroines like Deepika Padukone, Anushka Sharma, and Mamta Mohandas.







During her college days, Anushka attended a meditation workshop called 'Tapasya' even though she wasn’t particularly interested in it; she went because her father, Vittal Shetty, attended it.

Anushka Shetty was trained in yoga by her mentor Bharat Thakur, and later chose to make it her profession. She even conducted yoga sessions in Mumbai for a while.







While she was busy as a yoga teacher, Anushka seized the opportunity to act in the Tollywood film 'Super' directed by Puri Jagannadh, starring King Akkineni Nagarjuna.



        View this post on Instagram            A post shared by AnushkaShetty (@anushkashettyofficial)



Interestingly, Anushka Shetty’s real name is Sweety. She felt uncomfortable when everyone on the set of 'Super' called her Sweety.



Thus, she decided to change her name to Anushka Shetty, which required waiting for a year for her family's approval.

Anushka Shetty is one of the tallest actresses in Tollywood, standing at 5 feet 9 inches. When she speaks on stage, some of our heroes appear shorter than her.







Whenever Anushka is stressed about something, she engages in an interesting activity to overcome it. She reads her favorite proverbs, which she claims helps her relax immediately, she revealed in an interview.







Anushka Shetty is very punctual and takes her meals on time, which she says greatly benefits her health.







She completes her dinner by 8 PM, which helps her sleep well. She also starts her day with yoga before 7 AM, Sweety revealed her secret.







This yoga beauty, Anushka, enjoys writing poetry in English and has a habit of collecting newspapers related to environmental issues.







Before the movie 'Size Zero,' Anushka was quite slim, but she gained a lot of weight for the role. She has been trying to lose weight since, but the effects still linger.







Unlike most heroines who have a crush on heroes, Anushka Shetty's first crush was cricketer Rahul Dravid, she revealed in an interview.



Sweety has been a fan of Rahul Dravid even before she entered films but lamented that she never really got to meet him.







'Arundhati' was a turning point in Anushka's film career. Its success established her as a leading heroine in Tollywood.







Following that, she starred in hit films like 'Rudhramadevi,' 'Baahubali,' 'Baahubali 2,' and 'Bhaagamathie,' which enhanced her fame.







Anushka revealed in an interview that the offer for 'Arundhati' did not come directly to her. It was only after another actress rejected it that it came her way, though she didn't reveal who the actress was.







Many might not know, but Anushka has released a book with her fitness secrets. 'The Magic Weight Loss Pill' by Luke Coutinho features 62 health tips and weight loss techniques Anushka swears by.







Currently, under the direction of Krish, Anushka is filming for 'Ghaati.' In celebration of her birthday today, the first look poster was released this morning, showing Sweety with blood on her hand and head, smoking a cigar.







At 4:05 PM, the movie team also released a special glimpse of 'Ghaati,' showcasing Anushka in a fierce mass elevation scene, chopping off someone's peak with a machete.

Recognition through Films



Though she acted in 'Circus Sattipandu' in 1997, she did not get many opportunities in Telugu at that time and shifted her focus to Tamil and Malayalam films.

HBD Mokshagna Teja: Grand Entry & First Look, Fan Reactions, and Exciting Updates on His Debut Film"


Entering the industry as the heir of the legendary actor Akkineni Nageswara Rao, Nagarjuna has undertaken experiments that no other hero would dare to attempt. He fearlessly moved forward in his career with a variety of unique films, earning a distinct recognition in genres ranging from mass and class to spiritual and romantic. He successfully introduced his sons, Naga Chaitanya and Akhil, as the third generation from the Akkineni family into the industry. Behind Nagarjuna's success in the industry are some daring steps. Let's learn about them on the occasion of his birthday today (August 29).



'Siva' Sensation



Typically, early in their careers, most heroes opt for safe stories. However, Nagarjuna made a big impact with the experimental film 'Siva'. He took a significant risk by giving Ram Gopal Varma, who had never even been an assistant director, a chance to direct. This daring step turned his career around, creating a sensation with 'Siva' in a way no one anticipated. This film not only changed the trajectory of Nag's career but also altered the course of Tollywood, challenging the traditional perceptions of a hero's role with 'Siva'.







Diversity a Priority



With 'Siva', Nagarjuna became a top hero in the industry. While typically a single hit film would set a repetitive pattern in stories, Nagarjuna planned his career to ensure diversity in every film. This strategy led him to star in a supernatural heist film 'Govinda Govinda', a family drama 'Ninne Pelladatha', and an action entertainer 'Hello Brother', continually delighting his fans and establishing a dedicated fan base, thereby solidifying his status as a star hero.







'Annamayya'



At a time when peers like Chiranjeevi, Balakrishna, and Venkatesh were dominating with commercial films, Nagarjuna shocked everyone by signing on to the devotional project 'Annamayya'. Already popular for his mass image, his decision to do a devotional film raised eyebrows within the industry. Committed to portraying diverse roles, Nagarjuna embraced the challenge without hesitation, delivering a performance in 'Annamayya' that became a landmark in his career. Directed by K. Raghavendra Rao, the film was a sensational success, capturing the true essence of Annamayya and earning two National Awards, nine Nandi Awards, and three Filmfare Awards.







More Spiritual Films



Following the success of 'Annamayya', Nagarjuna didn't stop there. While continuing to act in commercial films, he also starred in more devotional films. Films like 'Sri Ramadasu', 'Shirdi Sai', 'Om Namo Venkatesaya', and 'Jagadguru Adi Shankar' under the combination of Raghavendra Rao and Nagarjuna also achieved great success at the box office.







Opportunities for Newcomers



Nagarjuna has proven time and again that not only is giving chances to newcomers not a risk, but it can also lead to success. Throughout his extensive acting career, he has introduced around 40 directors to Tollywood. Directors like Ram Gopal Varma ('Siva'), YVS Chowdary (Sri Sita Ramula Kalyanam Chootamu Raarandi), Lawrence ('Mass'), and Vijay Binni ('Naa Saami Ranga') are included in this list. Nagarjuna often credits these new directors for playing a pivotal role in his stardom.







The First Pan-India Star from Telugu Cinema



Director Krishna Vamsi, in an interview, made interesting remarks about Nagarjuna, describing him as the hero who took Telugu cinema global. Nagarjuna brought directors from various industries and produced diverse films with his own money, significantly altering the audience's perspective. He worked with directors like Mani Ratnam, Priyadarshan, Ravichandran, and Mahesh Bhatt from Malayalam, Kannada, Hindi, and Tamil industries, becoming a true Pan-India foundation.

As the Host of Bigg Boss...



Unlike most stars who shy away from television, Nagarjuna embraced it. He has been hosting the Telugu Bigg Boss show for several years, entertaining the television audience with his charm. While younger heroes like NTR and Tarak hosted for only a season, Nagarjuna has been continuously hosting, completing five seasons (Bigg Boss 3, 4, 5, 6, 7) and is set to host the upcoming eighth season. He has also been notable as the host of the 'Meelo Evaru Koteeswarudu' game show.

The Fitness Mantra



Even at the age of sixty, Nagarjuna's fitness level amazes the younger generation of heroes. Maintaining his physique from his 'Siva' days, he continues to give tough competition to younger heroes. Nagarjuna often shares that his secret to looking great is his calm demeanor and regular workouts. Having debuted as a hero in 1986 with 'Vikram', Nagarjuna has now acted in over a hundred films. Currently, he is working under the direction of Shekhar Kammula in 'Kubera'.






HBD Nagarjuna: Nagarjuna's Birthday Special- Daring Hero!


Megastar Chiranjeevi's birthday is celebrated like a festival by his fans. Even celebrities extend their wishes on this occasion. However, Konidela Siva Sankara Vara Prasad, who became Megastar Chiranjeevi, did not reach the heights of fame effortlessly. He faced numerous obstacles and challenges throughout his journey, eventually earning a special place in the hearts of the audience as the Megastar. Today (August 22), on his birthday, let's look at the events and factors that elevated him to such a high status.



The Incident That Fueled Chiru’s Determination



Before entering the industry, Chiranjeevi lived in Madras with Hari Prasad and Sudhakar. They used to watch previews of movies distributed by Poornachandra Pictures and would give their ratings. On one such occasion, they sat in the front row to watch a movie. However, the hero of the movie, along with the driver and makeup man, came in and forcibly took their seats. Chiranjeevi and his team had no choice but to stand and watch the movie. When the wife of the company’s head asked, “How was the movie?” Chiru responded in anger, “Aunty, we came as your guests, but that hero made us stand by the door. We endured it because we didn’t want to cause trouble for you. If I don’t become the number one hero in this industry, you can ask me why!” True to his word, he reached that level.







From Small Roles to Hero Status



Chiranjeevi entered Tollywood in 1978. After many attempts, he got his first opportunity in the movie 'Punadi Rallu.' Interestingly, the film 'Pranam Khareedu,' in which he acted later, was released first. This film introduced him to the audience. While he was trying to establish himself as a hero, some people demanded that he play small roles in other heroes’ films. In one instance, Chiru mentioned that he acted in those roles, hoping the time would come when he could prove himself. He conveyed that despite the obstacles, one could reach their goal by staying positive.







The Reason Behind Chiru’s Mesmerizing Dance



In the early days of his career, Chiranjeevi’s dance was not exceptional. After completing a song shoot, he asked his manager how his performance was. The manager replied, “What’s there in it? You just did what the dancers behind you did. You need to show your uniqueness.” From then on, Chiru started going beyond what the choreographers instructed, captivating audiences with his extra effort. Chiranjeevi also once mentioned that film critic Gudipoodi Srihari played a role in helping him improve his acting.







From Reviewer to Padma Vibhushan



Megastar Chiranjeevi stays as far away from negativity as possible, which is why he always appears energetic. He strongly believes that listening to failure stories can lead to discouragement. He credits his immense self-confidence as the key to his success. Starting his career as a reviewer, he went on to receive the Padma Vibhushan, the second-highest civilian award in India, for his contributions to the film industry. Notably, he had already received the Padma Bhushan before this.







Supporting Young Heroes



Megastar Chiranjeevi is always at the forefront of encouraging newcomers. No matter how busy he is, he attends events for young heroes if invited. Speaking on this once, he said, “I don’t feel proud of this. When I entered the industry, I wished someone would encourage me. Now, when small heroes come to me and invite me, I see myself in them. I pat them on the back and encourage them as much as I can.”







As the Darling Child of Art



Chiranjeevi frequently responds to the issues in the industry and the struggles of film workers, offering help to the best of his ability. When some people called him the "Big Support" of the Telugu film industry, Chiru humbly denied it, saying, “I am just the darling child of art, not something big.”







Leading in Charitable Activities



Among Telugu heroes actively participating in charitable activities, Megastar Chiranjeevi stands out. Through the Chiranjeevi Charitable Trust, he has brought light into many lives and continues to extend a helping hand to those in need. In his four-decade-long acting career, he has garnered millions of fans and won several awards, including three Nandi Awards for Best Actor. Currently, he is busy with his 156th film, ‘Vishwambhara,’ directed by Vashishta, set to release on January 10 next year.






HBD Chiranjeevi: Special on Chiru’s Birthday.. Do you know about the events that made him a Megastar?


Pan-India star Prabhas has won millions of fans with his acting and his kindness. Particularly recognized for his role in 'Baahubali,' he brought Telugu cinema to a global stage. It can be said that the records created by Prabhas as a movie hero are unparalleled. Today (October 23) is Prabhas' birthday. As he steps into his 45th year, here are some intriguing details about his personal and film career for you.



Average in Studies



Prabhas was an average student academically. He wasn't the type to sit in class for long periods and looked forward to the drill period eagerly. He was known for skipping classes to play games.







Forgetful



Prabhas is somewhat forgetful. He shared in an interview that his friends used to call him 'Ghajini' since his school days. He recounted how he often forgot his pen during exams and would leave his book in one place and forget where it was. He has admitted that he has improved a bit since his childhood.







'You, a Hero?'



At the beginning of his career, when Prabhas told a friend that he wanted to become a film hero, his friend laughed and said, 'You, a hero?' When he shared this with his family, they were initially shocked but later sent him to Satyanand in Visakhapatnam for training. After three months of training, he received the offer for 'Eeswar.'







The Reason Behind the Darling Call



Prabhas frequently uses the word 'Darling' to address his friends and close ones. He explained that he feels uncomfortable calling someone brother or 'anna,' which is why he prefers calling them 'Darling.' Noticing this, director Puri Jagannadh popularized this nickname through the film 'Bujjigadu,' and it became even more popular with the movie 'Darling.'







Guest Roles



The Rebel Star Prabhas appeared in a guest role in the Hindi movie 'Action Jackson' (2014) directed by dance master Prabhu Deva starring Ajay Devgn. In the song 'Punjabi Mast,' he danced alongside Sonakshi Sinha. Decades later, he is set to appear in a guest role in the movie 'Kannappa' and gave a voice-over for the movie 'Denikaina Ready.'







Two Films with His Uncle



The late actor Krishnam Raju was Prabhas’ uncle, and Prabhas entered the industry as his heir. Prabhas deeply admired his uncle and acted with him in films like 'Billa' and 'Rebel.' Prabhas often shares that these two films provided him with many sweet memories.







Thrice With Each



In his career, Prabhas has acted in the most films with two heroines, Trisha and Anushka, sharing the screen three times each. He starred with Trisha in 'Bujjigadu,' 'Varsham,' and 'Pournami.' With Anushka, he acted in 'Billa,' 'Mirchi,' and 'Baahubali.'







The First South Indian Hero



Prabhas was the first South Indian hero to have a wax statue at the prestigious Madame Tussauds in the 'Baahubali' getup. Following him, Tollywood stars Mahesh Babu, Allu Arjun, and recently Ram Charan have achieved this honor.







If Not an Actor...



Prabhas once expressed that working with the famous Bollywood director Rajkumar Hirani would be a dream come true. If he had not been an actor, he mentioned that he would have settled in the hotel business.

Young director Sujeeth (HBD Sujeeth) has carved a unique niche for himself in Tollywood. Although he has directed only two films so far, he has garnered a craze that many directors achieve only after many more films. Starting with 'Run Raja Run' as a director, Sujeeth caught everyone's attention at the pan-India level with 'Saaho'. Currently, he is directing 'OG' with Pawan Kalyan, capturing the mega fans' focus. Today, this talented director steps into his 34th year. Let's take a look at some secrets of his career.



Making Short Films at 17



Sujeeth Reddy was born in Anantapur, Andhra Pradesh, on October 26, 1990. Initially dreaming of becoming a Chartered Accountant, his growing interest in films led him to enroll in the L.V. Prasad Film &amp; TV Academy. He started making short films on YouTube at the age of 17 and has directed over 30 short films to date.







Creativity in Short Films



Typically, YouTube short films are made on a low budget and are not expected to meet high standards. However, Sujeeth's films like 'Run Raja Run', 'Prema Ishq Kaadhal', 'Thokkalo Love Story', 'Vesham', 'Yuddham', 'Prema Care of Drama', and 'Indian Idol' surprised the film industry with their richness and showcased his mesmerizing creativity.

Initial Family Resistance



When Sujeeth expressed his desire to become a director, his family was initially reluctant. However, seeing his dedication to cinema, they eventually supported his decision. His mother even bought him his first camera with her own money, marking the beginning of his journey in the industry.







Guidance from Puri Jagannadh



Upon entering the industry with the aim to direct, Sujeeth initially decided to work as an assistant director under Puri Jagannadh. Meeting him, Puri recognized Sujeeth's abundant directorial skills and encouraged him to pursue directing.







Director at 23

Before 'Baahubali'



UV Creations, which produced Prabhas's 'Mirchi', planned a second film with him and accepted a story from Sujeeth, which Prabhas liked. However, 'Baahubali' has not been released yet. After 'Baahubali', Prabhas's fame skyrocketed, leading Sujeeth to make adjustments to the story, and thus 'Saaho' was made on a pan-India scale. Despite not achieving expected success, Sujeeth's work at such a young age surprised everyone.

Among Tollywood’s star heroes, Akkineni Naga Chaitanya holds a special place. As the heir to Akkineni Nagarjuna, he has carved a unique identity for himself in the industry. With solid hits, he has earned a reputation as a talented actor, endearing himself to Telugu audiences with his boy-next-door charm. Today (November 23), Naga Chaitanya celebrates his birthday, stepping into his 38th year. Let’s uncover some secrets about Chay’s personal life on this special day.



Naga Chaitanya comes from a distinguished family background that’s unparalleled in the Telugu film industry. He is a proud heir to the Akkineni and Daggubati legacies.







He was born on November 23, 1986, in Hyderabad to Akkineni Nagarjuna and Lakshmi (daughter of D. Ramanaidu and sister of Venkatesh).







When Chaitanya was young, his parents separated, and he grew up with his mother in Chennai. He completed his schooling at PSBB School in Chennai before moving to Hyderabad.







In Hyderabad, he studied commerce at St. Mary’s College. Chay has mentioned in interviews that he was never brilliant in academics, describing himself as an average student.







At 38, Naga Chaitanya (HBD Akkineni Naga Chaitanya) looks incredibly fit and doesn’t show his age. However, during his teenage years, he weighed around 98 kilograms and was quite chubby.







Because of his weight, he was often teased and called "Dumbu" by people around him. Interestingly, the Daggubati family, rather than the Akkineni side, reportedly pampered him a lot.







Becoming a hero wasn’t a childhood dream for Naga Chaitanya. Even during his degree days, he lacked clarity about his career. His interest in films grew as he accompanied his father to film shoots.



When he expressed his desire to enter films, Nagarjuna supported him, reportedly advising him to lose weight first.







Taking his father’s advice seriously, Naga Chaitanya focused on fitness and lost significant weight. He also trained for 18 months at an acting school in California.



Thus, in 2009, Naga Chaitanya (HBD Akkineni Naga Chaitanya) made his debut with "Josh." His career took a turn for the better with "Ye Maaya Chesave," which became a landmark film for him.







Naga Chaitanya is known for staying away from social media, making him one of the least active Telugu actors online. Initially, he even avoided mainstream media interviews.



He often says that sharing on social media compromises privacy. Chay firmly believes in keeping his personal life private.







Though he appears soft and calm, Naga Chaitanya loves racing. He skillfully handles high-speed bikes and cars.



Initially, he aspired to be a racer and even participated in a few competitions, according to his close friends. However, he eventually gave up on this dream for various reasons.







Even though he didn’t become a professional racer, Chay still considers himself a racer. Collecting racing cars has become a passion for him, and he enjoys high-speed drives in his leisure time.



Currently, his garage houses speed monsters like Ferrari, Nissan GT-R, Porsche Panamera, Porsche Cayenne, and Range Rover Vogue. He also owns racing bikes like MV Agusta and BMW.







Fitness is a priority for Chay (HBD Akkineni Naga Chaitanya). He regularly works out and has set up a home gym to stay in shape.



Chay is known for being reserved. His friends often say that anyone who spends a few minutes talking to him can sense this quality.







Chay has very few friends in the industry. His best friend is actor Daggubati Rana, with whom he shares a bond that transcends family ties.



Rana once mentioned in an interview that he nicknamed Chay "Sweet Kid" because of his kind nature and personality, adding that anyone would like Chay.







When it comes to food, Naga Chaitanya loves butter chicken. He ensures it’s on his plate at least twice a week.



Naga Chaitanya (HBD Akkineni Naga Chaitanya) has a favorite phrase, though it’s hard to notice unless you pay attention. That phrase is "You know."







During his teenage years, Naga Chaitanya reportedly had a crush on a Bollywood actress. She’s none other than Katrina Kaif.







After dating actress Samantha for seven years, Chay married her in October 2017. Unfortunately, their marriage ended in divorce in 2021 due to unavoidable reasons.







Naga Chaitanya got engaged to actress Sobhita Dhulipala on August 8, 2024. Their grand wedding is scheduled for December.







On the work front, Chay is set to collaborate with "Virupaksha" director Karthik Dandu for an upcoming project. On his birthday (November 23), a poster for this movie was released.
