Tollywood’s acclaimed actor, Nani, marked his 40th birthday celebration on February 24 with heartwarming moments shared by his wife, Anjana Yelavarthy. The festivities included well-wishes from fellow actors like Nazriya Fahadh and SJ Suriyah, who took to social media to extend their greetings.
Anjana Yelavarthy, in a series of pictures and videos posted on February 26, offered a glimpse into the intimate birthday celebration. The images captured tender moments between Nani, Anjana, and their son Arjun. Notably, the birthday cake featured an iPhone theme, with Anjana affectionately referring to Nani as the “iPhone of my life.”
One heartwarming video showcased Arjun, Nani’s son, surprising his father with a piano rendition of “Hoyna Hoyna” from Nani’s film ‘Gang Leader.’ In the video, Arjun expressed, “This is for a special person today, my Nanna. Because he loves music, I thought of giving him a gift of music.” Nani, visibly moved, sat beside Arjun, enjoying the heartfelt musical tribute.
Anjana, in her post, shared insights into Nani’s preferences, stating, “He does have a soft spot for tiny gestures. A good song can move him, a sappy ad can tear him up, and a small surprise can turn him all mushy!” She also expressed gratitude to those who contributed to the celebration, including a special mention to someone named @a_story_in_a_square.
In a separate birthday acknowledgment, the makers of ‘Saripodhaa Sanivaaram’ shared a sneak peek of Nani in his unique village avatar from the film. Directed by Vivek Athreya, the movie promises a distinctive portrayal of the versatile actor.
Nani, in response to the birthday celebration, promised his fans a back-to-back hit in theaters, adding an exciting note to the joyous occasion.
