The first episode of The Rana Daggubati Show premiered at a film festival recently. It showcased a never-seen-before side of host Rana Daggubati as well as his guests Nani, Priyanka Mohan, and Teja Sajja, who indulged in candid conversations brimming with lighthearted banter, heartwarming moments, and deep reflections. They discussed family, love and hobbies among many other things.
The interaction took an endearing turn when Rana curiously asked Nani about his married life with Anjana Yelavarthy. A blushing Nani revealed how his wife Anjana’s family, comprising highly qualified individuals in technical fields, was starkly different from his background.
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 (Arjuna’s family) were all brilliant in academics.”
When Rana questioned how he convinced his wife’s family for their marriage, Nani cheekily quipped, “Once you meet me, all such doubts get cleared. Those doubts stay only until you meet me.”
Created and hosted by Rana Daggubati, the unscripted Telugu Original features a dazzling line-up of guests, including Dulquer Salmaan, Naga Chaitanya Akkineni, Siddhu Jonnalagadda and Sreeleela, Nani, S.S. Rajamouli and Ram Gopal Varma and many more. The Rana Daggubati Show will stream exclusively on Prime Video from November 23, available in India and over 240 countries and territories worldwide, with new episodes every Saturday.
