The conversation took a charming turn when Rana asked Nani about his married life with Anjana Yelavarthy. A shy Nani shared how his wife’s family, with their strong background in technical fields, was quite different from his own, sparking an endearing moment during the chat. 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 out in the film industry. As actors, we don’t know what the future has in store for us. They (Anjuna’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.”
