Hyderabad, May 28 The one-hundredth birth anniversary celebrations of legendary actor, Telugu Desam Party (TDP) founder, and former chief minister of Andhra Pradesh N.T. Rama Rao (NTR) began on a grand note, across Andhra Pradesh and beyond, on Saturday.

The celebrations will continue over the next year in Andhra Pradesh and beyond.

NTR is credited with promoting the Telugu identity and self-respect at a time when all South Indians were clubbed as ‘Madrasis’.

His children include Telugu actor Balakrishna and former union minister Daggubati Puranderswari. Andhra Pradesh chief minister Chandrababu Naidu is a son-in-law of NTR.

Balakrishna had earlier announced that the family members would tour across the world to participate in the celebrations which will continue till May 23, 2023.

In Hyderabad, several members of the NTR clan including his grandson and film star Jr NTR made a beeline for NTR Ghat, the patriarch’s final resting place, to pay homage.

While Balakrishna is kickstarting the celebrations from NTR’s birthplace, the TDP has arranged a massive public meeting at Ongole where the Mahanadu, or organizational meeting is being held.

Born on May 28, 1923, at Nandikooru in Andhra Pradesh, Nandamuri Taraka Rama Rao (NTR) cemented his position as the doyen of the Telugu cinema industry. He was famous and revered for his on-screen portrayal of Lord Rama, Krishna, and myriad Hindu gods, mythological, and historical figures. He also effortlessly portrayed modern characters as well. Apart from acting, NTR also tried his hand at the direction and production of movies.

But it was as a politician that NTR made his mark. Single-handedly setting up the Telugu Desam Party, he made his way to the record books when he campaigned for nine months, won the Assembly elections, and became the first non-Congress chief minister of Andhra Pradesh in 1983. He became chief minister for the third and final time in December 1994.

He was a leading member of the National Front Alliance which formed the government at the Centre in 1989.

NTR died on January 18, 1996, in Hyderabad.

Mumbai, May 28 Actor Sagar Parekh, who has been part of shows like ‘Balika Vadhu 2’, ‘Tera Yaar Hoon Main’, ‘Rajaa Betaa’, and ‘Internet Wala Love’, will be next seen in the fourth season of the popular web series ‘Kaisi Yeh Yaariaan’.

Speaking more about his role and the series Sagar says: “‘Kaisi Yeh Yaariaan’ is coming up with its 4th season. It would be a web show on Voot originals. The audience will be seeing a whole new cast. The character I am playing is one of the most important in the show.”

“I am playing Yuvan, who is a spoilt brat and comes from a very rich background in Himachal. Though he is a soft-looking guy, he is very rugged by his nature. This is his biggest flaw and for the first time in my career, I am playing a character like this. Yuvan is a victim of substance abuse and through his character, we will understand the power of resistance that everyone carries within themselves.”

He also adds: “This show has been running for almost a decade. It’s rare that a show does this well. I feel this is one of the best youth-based shows. When it first aired on MTV I was not even an actor. And I never thought I would be a part of it.”

Before this Sagar has done ‘Babbar Ka Tabbar’ for ZEE5 for both seasons.

Sagar also shares his take on the OTT content and what he likes about it.

He says: “There is a lot of creativity in the process and as an actor, you grow while doing web series. This is my second and I am sure after this web show, I will evolve as a better actor and will get many more opportunities.”

Interestingly the series has some bold scenes and Sagar talks about them.

“I have a few makeout scenes but we are going to cheat as I am not comfortable and I am still exploring the process of that. Otherwise, I do not smoke in real life however I have to smoke on screen. This is something that web series make us do. they pull off the actors from their comfort zones. I am not scared of it and I will do that since it’s my job.”

Soon the cast and crew of the series will be in Goa to shoot. So how excited you are about that?

“It’s always an excitement when you have outdoor schedules and more so when it’s Goa. Then you shoot, party and chill up, gel up with your co-actors. So the bond happens at a different level. I am quite excited. The monsoon has already started there and it’s one of the best seasons to go there.”

Sagar also shares his preference as an audience and what exactly he likes to watch.

“I love to watch thrillers and Sci-fi based shows and also sometimes action-based shows. ‘Money- Heist and ‘Breaking Bad’ are my favorites.”
