Even though Naga Chaitanya was born in Hyderabad, he grew up in Chennai, where he was raised for almost two decades. His mother tongue is Telugu, but in Chennai, he also spoke Tamil. He was educated at Padma Seshadri Bala Bhavan, Chennai and at AMM School, Chennai.
In the interview, Naga said: “In our industry we meet a variety of people from different languages. Just hearing that same texture [Telugu] and having that same warmth when you speak to someone- I think it just drew me closer so much faster. I keep telling her to keep talking to me in Telugu so I can improve.”
He went on to add, “With actors, sometimes we are trying to put something out there about our films or something about a product- most of it is staged in a way. So when something pops up that’s very organic and real about a person, I immediately gravitate to that kind of content.”
