"You are destined to win!"
The perfect Telugu girl.
Her beauty, acting, and diction
exhibit Telugu essence.
Jayammu Nishchayammu Raa welcomes
everyone's favourite, Sreeleela.
"Here comes the Viral Beauty of the town."
Where is Leela?
Where are you? My dear!
Hello. Hello. - Sir. Sir.
"Here comes the Viral Beauty of the town."
Why the delay?
I enter when they say action. - Now, I get it.
Bravo! We learnt acting after entering the industry.
You learnt acting before entering the industry.
Was that a compliment or a complaint? - Cocktail.
Okay.
I've been away from makeup since 2009.
I tried it today in 2025
but it failed miserably.
It's a partially done makeup.
Do you think it's all for you?
Who said you need makeup, Sir?
Oh, my!
Oh, my God! Come here!
I did this makeover expecting new roles.
The first programme was done with Nagarjuna.
Then they suggested Sreeleela. I refused.
Reason being, we have hardly ever interacted.
We acted for a few scenes in a movie.
We don't know each other much.
So, I was tense initially.
And finally, I admit, I'll depend on your energy.
Let's discuss breaking the ice.
But I don't know how to break the ice.
It's good to start with dance.
Dance?
Since the beginning of my career,
I've been afraid of dance choreographers.
I'm too bad at dancing.
Don't expect me to dance. You can go ahead.
A surprise song awaits you.
Are you trying to teach the master?
No! Pardon. - Shall I seek your blessings?
Just try. - No. Please do not!
I think... You said we must break the ice.
What do we do now? Audience!
You are a beautiful dancer.
I cannot dance with you. Suggest something else.
The fast pace dance moves.
No. - I cannot do that.
Tough body moves... I cannot!
Okay. Music. - Hey!
"The innocent laugh of little Krishna"
"soothes our soul."
"The innocent laugh of little Krishna"
"soothes our soul."
"The sparrow behind the leaves..."
"Come and rejoice with us."
"The flowers of the spring"
"borrow some smiles from us."
"Your nest awaits you, oh lovely sparrow."
You played my song on my platform.
Since this is the first time...
I'm here for the first time and it's a divine song.
Shall I reveal your song? There are many!
No, please.
Come on, music!
"You'll get smacked, oh darling!"
How should I address you?
As you wish. - I don't want to wish.
Sreeleela. You are so adorable. - Thank you.
After so many years, here's a Telugu actress.
Your first movie was a blockbuster. You are a star now.
Great, dear. - I'm struggling to survive, Sir!
Do you want me to believe that?
I think your peers are struggling to survive.
You've dominated the existing actresses. - No!
'You are a Nepo kid.'
Nepotism helps only with the admission.
Later on, everyone must fight.
Everyone has to earn their living here. - That's true.
To be honest, you deserve more than what you are getting.
I must appreciate you for your achievements so far.
You are working hard and reaching heights.
You'll attain new heights with 'Mass Jathara'.
I hope you achieve peak stardom.
Thank you, Sir.
You are very inspirational, Sir. We acted for a short scene
for the movie 'Guntur Kaaram'.
The conversations I had with you, you might have forgotten!
We spoke. You were selling your house at that time.
Very, very inspiring, Sir.
Thank you. Thank you very much.
All of us can never go through what you did.
I can't even express.
Nobody is to be underestimated.
You are a true Telugu girl.
You were born in Detroit.
You grew up in Bengaluru.
How many languages do you know?
Who are you?
We speak Telugu at home.
I learnt Kannada as my career started with Kannada movies.
Tamil, I had inclination towards the language.
I learnt Hindi since I studied medicine in Mumbai.
Then English. French was the second language in my school.
I'm yet to learn Malayalam.
So, you are a Pan India star.
I really love to learn languages.
You know to read Telugu well, right?
Yes, I do.
Let's test your Telugu reading skills.
Test? I've just cleared my tests.
I'll post a poem on screen for you.
Read it. - I'll try, Sir.
Then I'll elaborate the poem.
This reminds me of my college viva.
I am a student again now.
Many more hurdles to cross. Just wait.
Okay. Please display the poem.
Sir... - Read it.
Give me a moment.
'The Goddess, who is revered as'
'the mother of all.'
'Surarulamma.'
'She who is the mother of all.'
'The mother whom all worship.'
'Mother to you and me.'
'The mighty Goddess Durga.'
'Significant. Artistic. Strongest.'
'Epitome of wealth.' - Wow!
"You are destined to win!"
I feel the Goddess's presence over here!
You deserve a hug for that.
You did a great job. - Thank you.
While working for 'Guntur Kaaram',
your face looked different, either left or the right side.
Did you correct it?
Left or right? Mahesh Babu and Trivikram - Me...
They used to say... - You are...
Stop it, or else, I'll reveal your secrets. - Go ahead!
Which secret? - I'll tell you.
Trivikram and Mahesh Babu would always
come close and do this.
Once Trivikram says it, Mahesh Babu would be like...
I'd almost cry. Then they say it's a prank. - Yes.
So, yes... That's one movie I would...
Like... I remember another incident.
You would never sit beside us. Why so? - Okay.
You and your co-star
would talk separately, ignoring all of us.
We always wanted
to join you both and talk.
I'm talking about Ramya Krishnan, Sir.
Tell me what you both used to discuss.
I'd prefer the devil I know. Rather than the young devil.
Ramya Krishnan is the devil I know.
Your team is a nightmare for devils.
Instead of dealing with all of you,
I chose to mind my own business. - Understood.
Coming back, I must elaborate on the poem.
It was written by Bhakta Potana. Dedicated to the Goddess.
You know where it is from?
It's written in the Vijayawada Durga Temple.
Near the entrance.
The coincidence is, my mother prayed
to the Goddess for a baby girl.
I remember. There is a connection with...
You are a Goddess gifted by the Goddess!
You like Goddess Durga of Vijayawada. - Yes.
I went during my first Telugu movie release.
To seek Her blessings. Pellisandadi. - Raghavendra Rao's movie.
How did Raghavendra Rao select you?
It's a beautiful story. It's long, but I'll keep it short.
When they were looking for the female lead for 'Pellisandadi',
six months before that, I was working in Kannada movies.
After we spoke first, they didn't contact me for six months.
Then I received a phone call directly from Raghavendra Rao Sir.
He invited me to Hyderabad.
I was very happy after meeting him.
First time... I think my grandfather was the happiest about this.
Usually, they are not excited at home when it's about movies.
But my grandfather was like, 'He is the greatest director.'
I'm out of words. I'm so blessed!
I mean it. - Of course.
No day passes without remembering him.
I just believe in him. His work speaks.
I still remember, the lotus...
When I first went there, he asked me to wear pink colour.
He gave me a lotus flower, then just the eyes,
then the lips, and then the feet.
He took the photos. And just said, 'I got my heroine', and simply left.
I didn't get it back then.
I was unsure if I was selected.
You explained it well.
We speak only the truth on this show.
Some bitter truths exist too.
We must be prepared for that.
You explained so beautifully about him.
But his version is different.
Let's watch what he says. - Ammulu.
We call her that with affection.
She is synonymous with beauty and behaviour.
I introduced her to Telugu movies.
Sreeleela. Dr Sreeleela.
Ammulu.
Shall I reveal your secrets?
She is the best dancer.
Best motivational speaker.
Best swimmer. Best performer.
A beautiful girl owning these many qualities
is extremely rare.
Plus, for any actress to succeed,
her behaviour is a must.
She never feels she is superior.
She mingles with everyone.
From the helper boy to the director, she is friendly with all.
Recently,
she passed her MBBS exams
with flying colours.
Dr Sreeleela.
She earned the degree.
Speaking about her,
she is not just a dancer.
She is a good performer, too.
She just needs a performance demanding character.
It is then when her true potential unveils.
Sreeleela, all the best. Wishing you great success.
Thank you!
Lots of love! That's all I can give him.
Usually, once done with the movie,
the director forgets about you.
You get busy in life.
But even today,
whenever I take any wrong step,
he calls me and says, 'Ammulu, careful.'
I feel like he is that...
A Godfather figure in the industry.
I can always count on him.
Be it movies or life, he is always there for me.
I feel I am blessed. - Very sweet.
"You are destined to win!"
I have a complaint about you and a rumour, too.
Oh!
Not now, please!
I've given enough clarifications.
You can reveal the rumour.
Nothing. - Maybe mine is another rumour.
Why did you commit first? - Oh!
I won't commit. Please go ahead.
Shall I? - Yes..
You always think of your mother.
Literally, your mother is your world.
I received this complaint. What's your opinion on this?
Was it this you wanted to clarify?
Is there some other point? You'd like it save it for later?
What's the real rumour? - No, Sir!
No! - No! I don't think so.
That's a lie.
It comes from attachment.
Till now, I don't think
I am old enough to handle things by myself completely.
Without any hesitation,
I completely rely on my mother for everything.
So I don't have the individuality.
I am nothing without my mom. In any aspect.
So, even till now...
Even six months back, I couldn't sleep alone.
I'd wake up middle of the night.
I start shivering. Mom still puts me to sleep.
Okay. - Till date.
Even if I'm outdoors, or anywhere, I want mom.
She is always with me. - Wait. Somebody is there.
Ma'am, can you please move aside?
"Mother, oh, mother, you are my moonlight."
"May you forever be next to me."
"Mother, oh mother, you are my moonlight."
"May you forever be next to me."
The best part is...
I mean...
I mean, mom and I were just five minutes back...
We two were together at home. - What were you both talking about?
I received a video call from her.
Now... - Mom, does it look good on me?
What was your answer? - I said it looked good on her.
I didn't advise anything.
I asked her if these earrings looked good.
I wasn't wearing a chain.
She said it wouldn't look good. Wear a chain.
So you were sharing live updates with her.
Were you still interacting with her? - Yes.
Are you helping your mom?
She is helping me because I never faced a camera before.
That's her affection. - Okay!
Greetings, everyone.
Say it energetically, mom!
Okay. Greetings, everyone. - What is this?
Daughters need to guide mothers these days!
Who is the mother here? - I am the mother now.
Once, I used to guide her. Now, she guises me me.
She is 20 plus now.
She is free now. She'll fly.
She'd say, 'I am 21'.
Now she says, 'I'm 23'.
Mom, the age shouldn't be revealed! - No worries. I am 63.
Welcome once again. Please take your seat.
"You are destined to win!"
So far, I had a different impression.
It's crystal clear to me now.
About your mother. You call her mom or Amma?
Amma. - Amma.
Amma is a good word.
From what I heard, I thought you grew up
in a strict environment.
That's what I thought.
But after what I saw, hats off to both of you.
"You are destined to win!"
Mrs. Swarnalatha, I have a doubt.
I like your family.
I see that you are strict at home.
But she slays the screen when she dances.
Can you please explain this?
Your catch phrase 'You'll be smacked'
is what we used as lyrics for 'Pushpa 2'. Say it.
Amazing!
That's what I'm asking.
That is the spirit.
You made her an actress as you once wanted to be an actress!
First of all, I am huge fan of yours.
I wanted to say that. - Oh, my God! Okay. Thank you.
In one of my movies, my wife sells me for 10 million.
I'll purchase you if she really sells you.
She is beautiful. - Seems like we'll be siblings.
Did you hear her?
She wants to buy me.
They say, a beautiful girl's mother is seen as a family by everyone.
But a beautiful mother's daughter has to be her protector.
Really?
You sound like you belong from my town.
Where are you from?
I am from Ongole. - Ongole.
Okay. - Parents live in Ongole.
Same water. Same blood. - That's what!
Okay. Okay.
Hence, I said it in advance. - Okay.
My mom likes you so much, Sir.
My mom likes you.
Why are you blushing?
Please say it, mom. How come the same colour?
It's just a coincidence.
We did not plan to wear the same colour.
Okay.
Okay. Shall I leave now?
Are you asking me to leave? - No, I'll leave.
Coming to strictness, when she was a kid... - Mom!
Please wait, mom!
Let her speak. Please continue.
She'd bend when I hit her.
It's not hitting, mom.
She'll hit with her knuckles.
With folded fingers or 'Mudra'. - Like a 'Mudra'.
She would hold my head and bend it.
She would not hold my hands.
She'd smack continuously.
It's unfair to beat kids.
Only to scare her. Not to beat her.
I would never hit her with force.
I'd be gentle.
But... - She...
I'd like to talk.
Wait. Coming to this point,
I must explain it clearly. - Oh, my!
So, mom gets extremely angry.
Her concept is very correct.
I, too, will be the same with my kids.
If you spare the rod, you spoil the child.
Mom expects discipline.
If I planed
to bunk school,
she used to get angry.
If she beat me for my mistakes,
she'd cry. - I'd be like, mom...
'I must cry when you beat me.'
'Don't cry for beating me. Don't beat me again as I cry.'
Oh! Logic! - 'Stop crying!'
'Of course, I'll cry if you beat me, mom!'
I think this is a universal mother problem.
Cute. - If you cry after being beaten, they'll beat again.
No matter where she is, she'll be like...
'Just keep quiet.'
Wherever she is, she'll control with her eyes.
I saw that already. - Mom, look here.
I saw her eyes already.
Definitely, I'll support you.
"Jejamma, the mightiest of all."
You know how I learnt cooking? - I wanted to ask you.
Normally, it depends on our mistake.
She'd not beat, but scare me. A big ladle for a big mistake.
A medium ladle for a moderate mistake.
A spoon for a silly mistake.
If it's a big ladle, good luck!
Good luck!
Even the neighbours will hear you screaming.
She tries to be very strong.
But she extremely sensitive. - Oh!
She'll cry when she beats.
I'd be confused if I must be angry or emotional.
She'd confuse me.
That's how you learnt cooking. - Once, she came home
and was like, 'You don't know cooking.'
'People love 'Daal' prepared by me.'
'Sambar as well.'
I feel like saying, 'I'm an actress.'
But she doesn't care.
'Mom! Please.'
Mrs Swarnalatha. - Yes, Sir.
I'll show you a photograph. Speak about it. - Okay.
This was the photograph
which made me decide that I'd teach dance to my daughter.
Who is he? I've seen him before.
Tarak.
Did you speak to Tarak back then?
Actually, in the year 1997,
there was a Tana meeting in Anaheim, Los Angeles.
We used to live there. So we went to attend.
He danced on that platform at that time.
I told him as well.
'If I have a daughter, I'll make her a dancer.'
So that's how...
"You are destined to win!"
She seems to have learnt everything. So talented!
Music as well. Veena, right? - Yes.
Veena. What else?
I'm trying to get into drums and guitars.
Trying. - Okay.
So, this is your passion. - Passion.
Mom believes only in hard work. Work hard.
That's the only option.
Along with Bharatnatyam, she sent me to learn Ballet.
The ballet teacher used to get angry if she noticed
Bharatnatyam body language in me.
So she said I must have that kind of body control.
Whatever I have, I dedicate to her.
She is the only reason I am anything in life.
That's a nice way to put it,
but no matter how hard we push,
implementation is a must. - Correct.
I used to send her for dance classes when she was 3 years old.
She literally respected her dance teacher
as her second mother.
She learnt so many dance variations.
But I used to have tiff with the Ballet teacher and this teacher.
'How can you teach two forms of dance?' I'd say, 'I know her.'
'She will do it.'
I don't know with what confidence I said that. But she did it.
So I am happy.
"You are destined to win!"
Do you remember the teacher's name?
Savita Arun.
Did you speak to her. - Yes, sometimes.
Okay.
Her son...
Arjun. - They'd call him Master Arjun.
He worked in many movies
as a child artist. - Okay.
He is also very nice. He and his mother...
The way they have done it,
it's like their own girl's Arangetram (debut).
Okay. - They did so dedicatedly.
My exposure to acting... - Yeah.
It was only through Bharatnatyam.
We used to perform dramas.
Like Sindoora Ganapa.
We used to do stage performances with proper getup.
Poems etc. It was in Kannada.
I was introduced to makeup.
There used to be pancake makeup those days.
Now it's all fancy with brushes. - Yes.
They'd apply it all over.
They'd apply makeup
to the entire dance troop. Eye-brows and all...
Your speech itself is like dance.
I'd like to see if you have any pictures.
Related to her debut.
Yes. We should have them.
Fine. May I?
Sreeleela. Sreeleela.
She is a humble and enthusiastic evergreen child.
My dearest student.
She was a four-year-old child when she came to me.
By the age of seven,
she completed her 'Rangapravesha',
and made me proud and famous.
I am so proud of my dear.
When she was seven years old, I took her to the Vasavi Temple
and made her perform there.
An aged person was watching her dance.
After her dance, she went and sought his blessings.
He told me only one thing.
This child will become famous.
She will achieve success in the field of art film.
Now, she has achieved success in art films
and education, too.
I am so happy.
Whenever I see you on screen,
who came with her mother to our institution...
A mother full of dreams.
The small kid took her mother's dream as her dream.
With a great determination and desire,
was able to fulfil the dream.
Nobody else is responsible for this. It's her mom, Dr Swarna!
It was her dedication. She always called me
to find out how her daughter
was performing. She has encouraged her daughter a lot.
May God bless her!
Sir, thank you so much! - Thank you.
Thank you for this. - Don't mention.
It's all done by them.
I am very happy that I came to the show.
That... - Now, are you are happy?
It was very warm!
I've been thinking of this for so long.
I remembered ma'am's number just like my mom's.
Savita Arun ma'am used to feed me.
Literally, she'd dress me up.
Everything was her.
And... Oh, my God! Brother Arjun.
He taught me how to play Nattuvangam and his wife taught me to sing.
And Bharatanatyam junior exam... Oh, my God!
Everything is just like...
Did you know about this, Amma? - I didn't know this.
Well, how did you manage to find them. - You're reliving...
Your best memories of life.
I can't wrap my head around what just happened. I don't know how.
Well, we knew we are going to host our angel, Sreeleela.
So we did our homework to make you happy.
And your mother, too. Hence all these arrangements.
Thank you to Sapna.
"You are destined to win!"
This was the best surprise!
I think this was the best surprise.
And I don't know how many got what she told me.
I don't know if it's making sense. But it's a huge part of me.
I don't get Kannada either.
But I was able to get your reaction and their speech.
Because it came from the heart.
It helped me understand everything.
I mean, your emotions, sensibilities and sensitivities.
Thank you. Thank you, sir.
We are so happy for both of you. - Thank you.
God!
Are you two okay? Or still overwhelmed?
No...
Actually, as I told you earlier I was a little hesitant to do this.
Because I didn't know. Nothing more to it.
But after knowing you, I've started loving you all.
And your family.
So far, I've met only you two.
I want to know more about the family.
I mean, brothers, whoever is in the family.
Brothers? I have two brothers, sir.
Their names are Sreekhar, Sreedeep.
Well, with them I was like a tomboy.
So, no matter what they did, you know...
I didn't have that many friends. So, their world was my world, too.
Mum at nights, you know...
We had this dialogue, 'Ghupchip Sambar Pudi'.
We used to utter that dialogue and go to sleep.
But we didn't actually go to sleep. I mean, my brothers and I...
We discussed a lot. And we used to feel like talking.
We had bunk beds.
I was looking down at my brother and busy talking to him.
Mum heard and she knew that we had hockey practice at 6 in the morning.
She used to barge in.
Whenever she barged in, we used to go, 'Shh...'
Like chipmunks.
All of a sudden, we used to go dead quiet.
And we resumed talking as soon as the door was closed.
Mum never used to leave immediately.
But she used to turn off the lights.
Well, generally, after checking people leave, right?
After checking on us, mum used to close the door
but hide in the dark room.
To check if we were really asleep or not.
That was my first acting lesson. But we used to go again like this!
And she used to go, 'Hey'. And we...
One of my brothers used to pretend snoring. - You all were criminals.
Your mother was a criminal, and so were you.
Someone's going to be here to surprise our guest.
Any guesses? - How could we guess? Please give us a hint, sir.
Let us welcome them. Brothers...
Come on. - No way.
Sreeleela is very stubborn.
She used to do a big drama while eating.
You know, she used to throw pieces of dosas behind sofas,
in the car... - Oh, God!
Stop it, brother! - Mum and us turned into detectives.
But that same stubbornness
has helped her do her job perfectly.
Absolutely. We remember your first film offer very vividly.
She was literally screaming and jumping about everywhere.
And we all were so excited.
But a little worried also.
Because she was too young to be in movies.
But after seeing her exciting, we had to support, you see.
Now when we visit her,
there will be non-stop, constant feeding session.
Round one, round two, round three.
There would be a big drama of a different kind.
She goes into full host mode.
'Do you want water?' She's already running.
'Do you need remote?' She's already bringing it.
She wouldn't take any help. She does it all herself.
When it comes to her studies,
she was more of a middle and backbencher.
But all of a sudden, after she started doing films,
there was this next level seriousness in studies.
There was this tremendous interest and she came up to me and said,
'Brother, I want to learn.' I was shocked that day.
On screen, she's a star. But for us, a loving sister.
Proud of you, Ammulu. - Proud of you, Ammu.
Stay blessed. Love you. - Love you.
Oh, my God!
No... This was... I mean for the first time ever...
My brothers have said something good about me. - Oh!
They have never done this before. But...
How did you manage to make these videos? It really beats me.
They both have really been my pillars.
To be frank. You know, at times...
When I started working in films,
they both were really stressed out.
Especially, my younger brother. He's very emotional.
The one with big beard. - Hmm...
My elder brother said, 'Why? Tell me why?'
'Why do you want to do something where you have'
'to make yourself uncomfortable?'
'I know you!' - Last time, I was literally in tears.
'I know you personally.'
'When I see you sometimes on screen,'
'your character is not yourself.'
'Why are you putting yourself in an uncomfortable position?'
'You don't have to do this.' - I said, 'Brother, I love it.'
'But I'll make you proud. Like, give me some time.'
Then, he said, 'Okay...'
They were very happy.
There were tears, but they were tears of joy, you see.
We all witnessed those beautiful moments between siblings.
It was a beautiful emotional moment for me also.
I feel like... In this show... Whatever has been happening...
My personal life was very well protected.
I sort of kept it a secret. I've always been so scared to let...
To let the outside world know about anything.
But everyone's showing up one after the other. I'm really taken aback.
Who's your best friend? - There's one best friend, sir.
There's one girl who's been there with me since kindergarten.
We both planned to do medicine together.
So we gave our entrance exam NEET at the same time.
Here name's Sahana. - I know.
"Friends will be there for all seasons and trends."
I loved your reactions.
I was so scared!
Tell us all about it.
No... - No, you have to tell us the other Halloween story.
Oh, God! I'm going to get thrashed
by mom for doing this.
No... I have to tell something on this.
She's the only friend who orders, Leela.
Once Leela missed her birthday,
she said, 'I'm not talking to her.' and then she blocked Leela!
I think for about six months she blocked her everywhere.
'If you don't come and spend time with me,'
'I'm not going to talk to you.'
I went and helped them patch up.
I said, 'You know, Sahana. You know what's happening with her.'
'And then, I brought her over.'
So, this year, Leela made it a point to attend her birthday.
She spent a day with all her friends and came back home.
She's the only one...
When I told her I was at the shoot and blocking was a bit too much,
She said, 'So what? I don't care.'
I said, 'Look dear, it's work and I can't miss it.'
'Please try to understand.' She went, 'I don't care,'
'If you can't be emotionally there for me, I don't need...'
I replied, 'Okay... Calm down.' After finishing the shoot, I flew
and stayed with her till midnight and went back home.
And she doesn't care. Because she knows she has the right to demand.
That's the most beautiful...
The Halloween story.
One day, we were trick or treating.
Halloween is something that we used to...
I used to dress up as Harley Quinn and different characters, sir.
That Halloween night we were at my house and I was bored to death.
I love to eat Maggi at night and it wasn't there at home.
We wanted to have it at all costs. The driver was downstairs.
We went out in the car. Mum doesn't know about this.
And we went... Well...
I knew the place where we could get Maggi at midnight.
Mom used to work at Fortis Hospital.
The hospital canteen served good Maggi.
So, we snuck into the hospital that night.
In the middle of the night, we were running and sneaked in.
We were in Halloween costumes.
The security guard was chasing us.
Then I said to her, 'You distract the security, I'll go this way.
'I'll go get Maggi from the canteen.'
'You take him downstairs,'
'and keep him engaged. I'll come out with Maggi.'
Criminals. - Oh, no...
What's unfair is that's a hospital. I am doctor today.
I don't know if I am sounding socially responsible.
No, you are fine.
No harm was done to anybody.
We just ate some Maggie and came back.
What was the costume you wore?
What happened in the process was
we use fake blood during Halloween, right, sir?
There was fake blood all over.
All the nurses over there thought we had real blood on us.
I was wearing Harley Quinn. Harley Quinn is also a doctor.
There's no limit to your madness.
There's going to be more.
"Friendship is an unbreakable bond."
"Trends might change."
"But a friend never does."
"Friendship is our heart beat."
I want to hide them from the camera.
Parth. We call him Bittu. His name is Varun.
They are also doctors. - Okay.
They have been my closest friends since first year of medicine.
Whenever I go back from the shoot
they help me with notes and help me study.
They both did it for me. It has been six years.
They have been there with me through thick and thin.
I was never emotionally available for them.
But they have always been there for me.
Did you study or did you copy?
We studied, sir.
Anything to say, guys?
How is the surprise?
I talked to them on call, sir.
I asked them to video call and asked if they were at hospital.
I replied with washroom.
Thank you very much for the surprise.

Let's begin Country Delight presents High Five with Zee5.

Nuvvu Naaku Nachchavu.

Ghee with hot rice with dal and pickle.

"You are destined to win!"
You are your mom's pampered kid.
Brothers. Family. Friends. Fights.
The title of your first movie is Kiss.
How old are you? What is that name? How was it possible?
What is it about the kiss? Do you need an AV for that?
No, sir. Please.
No!
The full form of Kiss is keep it short and sweet.
There have been quite a few discussions among the family, sir.
We were only aware of the movie. The title was revealed later.
We have decided not to go with it.
There is a very interesting scene.
My friends were going out for ice cream.
I was crying while I asked for permission.
Mom said okay and I wiped my fake tears and laughed.
She took a video of it.
My director saw that video. That's how it all happened.
When they came home, first thing they asked for was a hair cut.
I used to have very long hair.
In our Telugu home, hair equals wealth.
I worked so hard growing it that long.
When we said no
they convinced mom and she was okay with it.
I called my grandpa and asked him for permission.
No one knew the title until then.
Once the registration was done and they put up posters
my mom asked them if they can change the title.
But the movie itself was quite innocent.
So everyone gradually agreed.
Very sweet.
Brothers. - Hi, Ammulu.
Arjun!
I'm very happy for you.
And I'm very proud of your growth.
I am very very happy.
Because within a span of about five years or so
you have achieved so much and done films in so many languages.
You're a very popular actress.
Without hard work this is impossible.
I must say you've arrived.
You were a great multi-tasker. You were good at studies,
there was 'Barathanatya', swimming classes, acting classes.
And then, there were your private tuitions.
Your mom made sure that your day was packed completely.
You are a doctor, too.
You are both an actor and doctor.
And you've made a name for yourself across the country.
I'm really very happy for you, Ammulu.
I want to see you soar to new heights, do big films.
I wish you great success.
All the very best for your wonderful future.
Good luck. - So sweet.
"You are destined to win!"
I am so overwhelmed.
When you are too happy, you get scared, you know.
Arjun is the first person to believe in me.
He trusted me when I almost gave up on myself.
He used to teach me Kannada in such a loving way.
He taught me public speaking. He taught me how to carry myself.
He taught me the rules about camera and monitors.
Take the blessings from the camera before the shoot. He taught me that.
Before the make up artist starts,
pay them up and take their blessings.
He gradually taught me everything in a lovely way.
I called him brother.
I was in eight or ninth grade.
I used to go to cinema office in my school uniform.
Enough of the surprises please.
From Kiss to National award winning film, Bhagawant Kesari.
You reached many heights. You are here now.
Give her a round of applause.
We are all really proud of you.
"You are destined to win!"
One standing ovation for her.
Everyone knows you are a fantastic dancer.
It is a commendable thing.
But this movie had fights. Climax. Balakrishna acted in this.
You fought with mass hero.
You convinced everyone. It is quite an achievement.
Bhagawant Kesari is a movie
which stands out among all the movies I did so far.
I trusted the movie. I was emotionally connected to it.
I think, for a second, before the shoot, Mr Balakrishna
is someone who everyone respectfully fears.
But that was just for a moment.
After the first day of shoot, he is a different man in my head.
All I could see was that character.
Our bond grew stronger.
It was like that in real life.
We went to Tana in US.
Mom and I went there. We are vegetarians.
We had issues with the food.
It was all figured out.
He was there too. He talked to the sponsors.
He mentioned we both were vegetarians.
He told them to send everything to us too.
He takes care of people around him.
Genuinely, he takes care of me as a buddy.
I call him buddy.
He takes care of me like his own child.
That's how Balakrishna is. - True.
"My dear child. My dear child."
Shall we watch your AV once?
Come on, brother. 'Dancing with this girl...'
'Oh my god!'
'All the heroes will be deprived of their energy.'
"Beautifully adorned darling."
"Your look is quite captivating."
'I really loved a particular moment.'
'She is a very good dancer.'
'Dancing queen. Sreeleela.'
'I think I have to up my game a bit.'
'Sreeleela, it has been a pleasure working with you.'
'I had fun dancing with you. You have a great future ahead.'
'Sreeleela knows how to dance.'
'She knows Kuchipudi and Bharatanatyam.'
'She can play Veena.'
"Viral."
"Viral beauty."
"Fold it."
Thank you.
I think I'm so grateful to each and everyone.
Mr Mahesh Babu despite being such a huge star,
he didn't hold back anything.
I'm so, so grateful meeting...
I think having the right people around you at the right time
is very important.
That is very true. - And I think
the whole industry as far as I know,
even when I was doing about three or four shifts,
they treated me like family and supported me unequivocally.
They sort of owned me, you know.
After my first Telugu film,
I made a few wrong decisions.
Whenever I made mistakes, they all sort of ignored them
and encouraged me to go forward. I've experienced that.
Well, when a person turns into an actor, an emotion,
they become a part of family.
Even when I'm doing a film in a different language,
they look at it like this. As if their daughter has
gone out of town to study or, you know, work somewhere.
That's how they see it.
I have to respect this sentiment.
And I remember love always and take nothing for granted.
I try to get better in everything.
Well, it doesn't matter how big or small the role is,
I try to give it my hundred percent.
In every film, my purpose was to entertain them.
I guess.
'I'm myself is a living proof.'
'Because I have seen you and I'm seeing you.'
Whatever you said is an absolute truth. I can see it.
"You are destined to win."
Well, there's something that no one knows about you.
Let's see what it is.
What else is there, mum?
Oh, God.
No, sir. Please, sir.
'I miss you a lot.'
'Sreeleela mamma.'
'I love you, Sreeleela mamma.'
Oh, my God! Oh, God...
Oh, God...
It is a lovely family.
Oh, God! That was hectic.
You haven't given birth to just a actor, or a great dancer.
You have given birth to an amazing human being.
Your daughter is a gift to this universe.
This was the highlight of this episode.
It was a beautiful moment.
What you've done at this age is just unbelievable.
And you've kept it to yourself.
You don't seem to remember it at all.
I'm an old man with decades of experience in this industry.
I'm blessing both of you.
May God give you all the happiness in the world.
Thank you very much.
You're a style icon for youth.
Before we unfold your style,
let's go to Oaksmith style studio. - Yes.
Out of all your films,
what's your favourite stylish character?
My favourite stylish character that I played, sir?
I think 'Pellisandadi' had a vibe. - Okay.
Who's more stylish than you in your family? - My mum.
I expected. - My mum for sure.
Will you accept a role if it's a very stylish villain character?
Not now, sir.
A long time to go to play such roles.
You would do it later then?
What is that you like in Men's styling?
Hats, sir.
Hats? Okay. - I think they are really cool.
Okay. You won my heart.
Okay. Which Tollywood Hero's style do you admire?
Everyone's. - Agreed.
Everyone has their own style.
You are spot on. - Okay.
I'm with you completely.
Sreeleela, you are looking very radiant today.
To double this radiance of yours,
a special hamper by our fashion partner, The Arvind store.
'Wedding celebrations' is written on it again.
Not my mistake though, dear.
One more gift from GV MALL, shop and celebrate.
And it says, 'Wedding Destination'.
This is from Vijay JB Infra Private Limited.
A powerful Lord Hanuman idol for you. - Thank you.
"You are destined to win."
