On his decision to pursue acting as a career, the Arjun Reddy actor said, "When I first did theatre, I fell in love with acting and when I first performed on stage. I loved acting for different reasons at different times. Initially, I did acting because I got attention.

I am blessed to be able to do the work I love, every day."
