However, it is said that after winning hearts in the Telugu industry, Ananda has left acting and has been away for a while now. He is the grandson of popular playback singer P.B. Srinivas who has sung more than 3000 songs in his life. It was Srinivas’ wish that his grandson becomes an actor which is why Ananda started his acting journey from a very young age. In fact, in 1997 Ananda also bagged the Nandi Award for Best Child Actor for his performance in his debut film Priyaragalu.
