The admiration and the love you are showering upon us.
The way you are raising our TRP.
I am about to give you a gift today as a token of gratitude.
My favourite guest of this program
and even in my life.
Guest. Friend. She is everything to me.
Do you know who that is? You will know in a while.
Let me tell you about her.
Procedures might change. Generations might change.
Her charm will never change.
Sachin Tendulkar hits a six on the field.
This guest will wink at her fans on screen.
You can expect the same response from the audience.
Her smile is intoxicating.
Her beauty is unmatchable.
She can portray any character with her talent.
She will win over everyone's heart with her acting.
She can melt rocks with her beauty.
The OG beauty of our Indian Cinema.
Please welcome Ramya Krishna.
"Oh, timeless beauty, entice me in your love."
"Come with me. Be my saviour."
"Let me get lost in your embrace."
"Let your sight calm me down."
"My love! My love!"
"My love! Let me kiss you every day."
"Oh mighty hero!"
Put your leg like this.
The reason why we did that is
to show that we were labelled as 'Iron legs' in the past.
Iron leg!
Look at us now. You can give the verdict.
I thought you were calling me platinum.
Hello, everybody.
Ramya Krishna is on our sets.
The temperature has risen. Boost the AC right now.
"A beautiful girl asked me to kiss her."
Sit down.
Raghavendra Rao made a beautiful statement.
Newton proved the apple theory.
But he discovered where the apple lands.
It should fall on the navel.
We discovered whose navel it should land on.
It should be Ramya Krishna.
Even a watermelon fell on my navel.
Apple is nothing compared to that.
Watermelon? - There was a watermelon too.
I know you very well.
We have our own journey. Of course, we will talk about that.
Before we talk about that, who is Ramya Krishna?
Your father is Telugu. - Telugu. Krishnayya.
Your mother is... - Nitya. Tamil.
You started with a Malayalam film.
Actually...
I was born and raised in Chennai.
My dad used to talk mostly
in Tamil. A mix of Telugu and Tamil.
When I was learning Kuchipudi, I picked up on Telugu
in the class. I became familiar with the language.
But I learnt how to speak Telugu properly
when I worked on my first film.
The first movie I committed to was in Tamil.
But I went to the shooting of a Malayalam movie.
The movie was released in Tamil. It is called 'Vellai Manasu'.
'Vellai Manasu'. - Yeah.
White heart.
Like Ramya Krishna's heart.
"A beautiful girl asked me to kiss her."
"She asked me to give her my heart."
There is a reason why I am dressed in black and white.
I wore black and white because you were wearing black.
Both of us are black and white.
I think we are a mix of black, white, and all the grey shades.
Yes.
Because every human has that.
We can't determine it as black and white.
Black is also not bad.
We can't say white is superior.
A combination of everything makes a perfect human being.
That's what I think.
Oh my! Oh my! I just said it casually.
You took it seriously.
The reason why I said black and white is that
you said it in a spiritual and philosophical way.
Generally, letters are in black and white.
Life is black and white.
It means we are open-minded. That's what I meant.
There is grey.
I thought I spoke a little too much. It was over the top.
They liked it.
Because I think life is not as simple as black and white.
It is never that way for anybody.
There could be red, pink, and orange
and grey, and any other colour.
All of those shades come out in the movies. - Yes.
Tell me if I am talking a little too much.
Just say, 'Shut up!'.
Buses are also a coincidence. I used to travel in buses a lot.
12A. 12B. 12C. - 12A. 12C.
I don't use the Route 12B. - I had 12B as an extra.
Both the buses.
First of all, I always call her Kannamma.
I can't call her Ramya now.
Kannamma is a sweetheart.
Sweetheart is a loving girl.
I know how it came up. You know my sister, right?
She calls me Kannamma.
People who are in my close circle know me as Kannamma.
And he is one of them.
Okay, thank you very much.
Can you talk about your Kalakshetra days?
I didn't go to Kalakshetra University.
My guru was Mr Dhananjayan.
He is from Kalakshetra.
The dance is the Kalakshetra style in Bharatanatyam.
I learnt Kuchipudi from Mr Vempata Chinnasatyam.
"Your smile is as bright as a thunder."
"You are called upon to blossom our lives."
Everyone saw different shades of you through your movies.
What kind of a person were you before getting into movies?
I was a simple girl with a middle-class background.
I was a school-going girl.
When I started acting,
I was a little over 13 years old.
I go to school. They serve us curd rice every day.
I will eat my curd rice and go to my dance classes.
I will be at my dance classes until 7.30-8 pm.
I will catch a 12A or 12C bus from T Nagar and go home.
I will go home, do my homework, and go to sleep.
Basically, this was my routine.
My mother literally kicks me out of the house.
She wants me to learn dance.
She thought I was a born dancer. Which I am still...
Shall we watch an AV with your childhood pictures?
You must be looking like a crow. Let's see.
Play the AV, brothers.
Give us a brief about everything.
The first picture.
I had glasses when I was in my pre-KG.
I have short sight.
As I grew older, I grew out of it.
Look at those glasses.
I had a habit of biting pencils.
You know the edges of both the sides of the glasses.
I bit them so much that they kept falling out.
This was taken when I was in school.
I think I was in my 7th or 8th class.
It was the first ad I took up.
I got paid for this ad for the first time.
This is called a Vinso biscuit.
They don't even sell these biscuits anymore.
This was one of my first ads
which I faced the camera for before I got into acting.
How much did they pay you?
It might be 200 or 300 rupees.
I used to go on tours of my Kuchipudi classes.
I have to tell you the story behind it.
I used to dance in my uniform.
Back then, Mr Vempati only came now and then.
He will be busy with tours and all of that.
There are two girls named Bala and Sita.
They used to take the class.
When I dance in my uniform, I look like a small child.
One day, it was a holiday. I went to the dance class.
I was wearing my salwar.
There used to be sarees for dancing purposes.
I was wearing that.
He selected me to go on the tour.
I wore my uniform again for the rehearsals later on.
He was like, 'She is a child. How can she come on tour?'
He cancelled on me.
Back then, when I was in
sixth or seventh class
I went on a North India tour for Kuchipudi.
I went with the team.
For that, I got about
100 or 200 for the whole tour.
That was my first payment.
What was your first film in Telugu? - 'Bhale Mitrulu'.
Who is the hero? - Bhanu Chander is the main hero.
Bhanu Priya is the main heroine.
The second hero is Anand Babu. I am the second heroine.
Back then, we had more than one heroine.
We had more than one hero. Those were the times.
You mentioned 'iron leg', right?
My first film was released in 1984.
After that, I thought that
I won't have to go to school or take exams.
But 1984 and 1985 went by.
!086 and 1987 also went by.
I didn't have a hit movie. My parents stepped in at that point.
They wanted me to continue studying.
They started thinking about joining me in college.
For me, I was like
'I don't want to go back to school.'
They met an astrologer who said, 'Have you gone crazy?'
'This girl is going to become a star.'
In that moment...
it didn't matter what he said.
I was just happy that I don't have to go back to school.
After that, Mr Vishwanath called me.
He asked about my dance. We went to his office.
My dad and I were on his scooter.
It was like an audition. They wanted me to dance.
They looked at my performance. They selected me.
The process of
learning my craft
didn't sit well with me initially.
Almost everything I learnt... There are crash courses, right?
I was in school when I started acting.
So college, PhD, everything was mixed into one course
taught me through a film. That's how I felt.
Wow, nice.
I didn't have a director like him.
I didn't have a mentor like him
in the beginning of my career.
So in that film,
I was like a blotting paper.
I used to absorb everything.
I don't want to go back to school.
I have to learn everything.
I used to grasp everything that I could.
I found the actress in me
in that film for the first time.
We didn't even have a dance master.
Mr Vishwanath choreographed all the shots in the film.
I linked everything together like a dance assistant.
That was such a learning experience.
'Suthradharulu.'
"Welcome to everyone."
He instructed all of that.
All of that was...
After that, I took my actual step into the industry.
As an actress. - Super!
After watching that movie, Mr Raghavendra Rao
cast me in 'Alludugaru'. - He cast you.
How many flops did you have before 'Suthradharulu'?
I lost count.
Everything I did was a flop.
From the first movie of mine
to many movies, the graph went down and then came up again.
It went miles below the bottom of the barrel.
Finally, it was time
for it to shoot up to a hit movie in 1991, when I started in 1984.
Seven years.
Yeah.
I got a Nandi Award for 'Suthradharulu'.
Not me. The movie got a Nandi Award.
"She is such a beautiful girl. She took over my heart."
After the award ceremony was done,
we were both standing outside. I think I got into your car.
Or you got into my car. - You got into my car.
I didn't have a car. - No. No.
You were the most gracious
and a beautiful person who offered me a ride.
No. No. You are always kind to all the heroines.
Hey! Hey! Hey!
"Come to me, my hero. Come to my side."
Keerthi said the same thing.
You are the first one to know. - Yes.
Yes! - Yes!
He is the best friend of all the heroines.
And the best friend a person can have.
Aww!
"My dear. My dear. My dear."
"Let me control you."
"My hero!"
Not all the heroines.
That is something... - No. No.
I am not comparing anybody in my place.
Nobody can take my place. - Correct.
That's it. I know that. - There is a lot of difference.
Yeah. Yeah. I know that too.
Surprisingly
we became friends initially which is fine.
Number one, I went to get my award.
I had my share of flops. Let's put that aside.
Ramya Krishna is waiting for the car.
Who wouldn't want to give a lift? Anyone would give a lift.
No matter when.
Let it be your old self. Let it be you right now.
A beautiful girl, you mean.
It doesn't have to be Ramya Krishna.
"Come to me."
"Let me fulfil my desires."
A beautiful girl. A hot girl.
Anyone would give her a lift if she is waiting.
I was being selfish, okay?
"My love. My love. My love."
It wasn't a sacrifice. It was selfishness.
I am giving you clarity. - Yeah.
We got our award at the same time.
That's the first time we met.
Surprisingly, we were on the right track at the same time.
You had your success. I had my success.
Surprisingly, you were always my neighbour, whenever I moved.
"You are a bubbly girl."
I don't know how.
No, ever since Meghana was born
we are next to each other. I don't know how.
Finally, I was next to your house when Bebo was born.
These are coincidences.
We didn't plan to be next door neighbours.
Our life journey is not just about this with a few people.
I think we are connected to a few people from our past lives.
Exactly.
There are very few people like that. You are one of them.
Thank you. Thank you very much.
That's the truth.
I texted you once.
'I am proud to say that Ramya Krishna is a friend of mine.'
Thank you. Me too.
We have a surprise AV for our guest.
Can you guess what that is?
How can we guess, sir? Why don't you give us a hint?
Why don't I just show it to you?
"A beautiful girl asked me to kiss her."
'She asked me to give her my heart."
"She is the best thing that could happen to anyone."
This is where it started. It was an orange first.
It started with an orange. - It ended with a watermelon.
Mr Raghavendra Rao is an excellent director.
He is a gentleman. He is a pure and beautiful man.
Tell us about him. What do you call him?
I call him Kokappa. - Kokappa.
He calls me Kodikki.
Kodikki. It is a wordplay with son.
He mispronounces the word.
What is Kokappa about?
He is everything to me. He is a father figure.
He is my mentor. He is my companion. He is my God. - Nice.
"Victory shall be perceived."
I will say this with 100% certainty.
I am a nobody if it wasn't for him.
Your expression itself made everything clear. - Yeah.
You don't have to say anything else.
You said what you had to. Let's hear it from him.
Brothers! - 'In my opinion'
'Ramya Krishna is fortunate.'
'She can blend into any role.'
'Ramya Krishna is a sharp heroine.'
'She can take up any role.'
'She has a grip on rhythm.'
'Let it be Annamayya songs.'
'She acted in the 'Annamayya' movie.'
'She is a dedicated woman.'
'She can...'
'No compliment is enough for her.'
'In Baahubali, she acted as Shivagami.'
'She ruled Mahismathi.'
'Her dialogue was fierce.'
'She dictated to everyone with her acting.'
'All the films I worked on with Ramya'
'were successful.'
'Ramya gets along as a family member.'
'Because for any artist'
'and for anyone'
'they shine if they have the parents' support.'
'Let it be her father, mother, or her sister.'
'They still support her. They are very friendly people.'
'All the best, Ramya. May you get more hit films.'
'You must receive great work.'
'I am waiting to work on a film with you.'
'Only if you give me your call sheets.'
'Thank you.'
We know about your bonding. You have expressed it beautifully.
I am still touched.
How did you meet?
It was when 'Suthradharulu' was released.
I was expecting the film to do well.
A big hit that will restart my career.
That's what I thought.
It didn't do as well as I expected.
It did well. It has a huge star cast.
I was noticed. But it didn't give me the necessary push.'
Mr Raghavendra Rao watched that movie.
He saw whatever was in me.
It was a guest appearance in 'Alludugaru'.
There was a PRO named B.A. Raju.
He approached me and then my real journey began.
That's where I met Sridevi for the first time during that film puja.
I am a big fan of hers.
Yeah.
The song in 'Alludugaru' was a guest appearance.
I earned a great name with just that song.
Hats off to Mr Raghavendra Rao for doing whatever he did.
You said you are a fan of Sridevi.
You are a fan of hers.
She was supposed to do the character in 'Baahubali', which you landed.
You played the role she was supposed to play.
How could I have known that? I took the role I was offered.
It is a beautiful thing.
So, you are such an ardent fan of hers...
You could do what she could have done.
Of course, you excelled in it.
And there is no replacement in my opinion.
I am just blessed to have been a part of 'Baahubali'.
I consider myself to be lucky.
Sridevi is so popular for her glamorous roles.
The songs from 'Athiloka Sundari'.
That's when I was in the shoot for 'Alludugaru'.
It was released right before the shoot.
You know, her sarees and her figure.
I was taught a trick by Mr Raghavendra Rao.
Sridevi pulls her stomach in when the director says action.
Because you know, she always used to wear these
beautiful low waist glamorous outfits.
She would maintain her figure.
Ever since I heard that
until the last song I did
no matter how long the shot is
I would pull my stomach in.
I used to do that.
When the director says cut, I would relax.
This is one of the reasons why the navel shots were a hit.
People were mesmerised by the film. I texted you about it, too.
Whatever you have done, you cannot imagine another person.
I am not insulting anybody.
But you were so perfect. Everyone in the world knows that.
There's nothing new to say about that.
Sometimes, unexpectedly, magic takes over our work.
Baahubali was magic for me.
Baahubali's director and the producers.
What is... - Before that...
There's not much to say about Rajamouli.
I don't know what pan-India means.
My son Bebo
was only six years old around that time.
I was in my own world.
First, Shobhu called and asked for 40 days.
I declined him as it was too long for me.
I went home, and they were like, 'What's wrong with you?'
'This is a high-budget film.'
"Glory to Baahubali!"
"You must be felicitated with honour."
"You shall be praised."
I was waiting for the reaction to end.
It is a never-ending reaction.
I can say one thing for sure.
We're all talking about 'Baahubali'.
Everybody's put in their hard work.
Monetising the hard work
and make it reach the vast audience around the world.
To such a large audience.
The brain behind all of that was Shobhu.
People all over the world are talking about Telugu cinema.
The man who should get the credit for that is Shobhu.
Wow!
"Glory to Baahubali!"
Brothers, let's watch an AV about Shivagami.
"Her word is the command. Her word is an enlightenment."
"Her command needs to be followed."
"Anybody."
Kattappa!
"Her name is Sivagami. She is unique."
"Just hearing her name sends shivers down everyone's spine."
"This my word."
"And my word is a command."
We have two proud people here.
The producer and 'The' Sivagami.
I am a beneficiary.
Can you say that dialogue for us?
This is my word.
My word is a command.
"In the court of law, Sivagami takes the call."
"Seeker of truth in the arena, guided by a mother's heart."
Looks like 'Chandramukhi' has possessed you.
You need to say now, sir.
Your experience.. Especially, about your pan Indian success.
Right! - A lot of them tried later.
I am fed up of hearing the word 'pan Indian movies'.
How to make the film reach the audience? - Right!
It should make an impact. - Yes!
In every household. - Yes!
You made it happen.
They crossed the borders of every household
they even made international impact. It's not easy.
It was like an atom bomb.
"The sword moves swiftly to cut the arrows.
In the whole industry, only this movie reached that far. - Yes.
Everywhere. - Yes!
And for the first time.
And that too, from South India.
And that too, from Andhra.. Andhra Pradesh.
No matter how hard you work, we are destined to something.
Like.. For example..
Ms Ramya Krishna acting as Sivagami is destiny.
It's pure destiny. - Yes!
Now we can't imagine anybody else playing it.
So there's certain.. What do you say?
Conspiracy.. You say it as, 'Universe conspires'.
Like that.. There's a lot
that came together. This is one example.
But a lot of things came together to make Baahubali what it is today.
Budget had already crossed the limits. Out of control.
Along with the belief that the movie will come out well..
You spent a lot for publicity.
You need to be brave for that.. - Yes..
It is not a simple thing. - Yes.
No one dreamt of those collections. - Yes..
Yes.. - Risk was like that. It's an unbelievable figure.
Our motto was to never compromise on our vision.
That's passion. - So Mr Rajamouli's vision
should never be compromised
and how to control the budget
was our main motto.
Mr Rajamouli told
that his most depressing moment was the first day talk. - First day..
Yes.. - No one had an idea about the first day talk.
But they stood strong.
I had no idea. I was overwhelmed..
By the first day show. We watched the movie together.
Everything was beautiful. Wonderful experience.
We had a dinner get together. - Yes..
They were all calm even then.
First day.. It started picking up by the night show. - Night show..
They stood very strong
without breaking, at that moment.
So, that's amazing. - Yes..
Definitely.. That's the journey.
I remember, I told in an interview
'If anyone give a negative review of the movie 'Baahubali',
'I'll shoot them.'
I mean how can you even refuse that movie!
The problem was, the climax felt like an interval, first time.
Yes, that..
No one understood the concept of two parts. - Yes.
Is the movie over or not? - Yes.
Why is it incomplete? Out of confusion
the negative talk was spread. No fault in the movie. - Yes.
It mismatched the expectations. - Yes!
Also, why did Kattappa kill Baahubali? - Yes.
That's like.. Wow! - Exactly! Viral!
"All hail Baahubali.."
Are you re-releasing Baahubali again?
Yes, sir. This year marks he tenth year of Baahubali Part-1.
Time really flies.
In 2015
we released Baahubali Part-1.
So in 2025, as a celebration
by combining the two parts Mr Rajamouli re-edited it.
So will Kattappa kill Baahubali in his version?
In interval. - Interval!
That's there, right? - Yes!
Okay! - You need not wait for two years.
Yes.
Shall we watch an AV about the difficulties you faced?
Okay, let's watch!
'Mahendra Baahubali!'
"In the court of law, Sivagami takes the call."
There are so many variations in this beauty.
Did you reject the movie at first?
Yes! What a.. It would have been a blunder.
That would have been a biggest blunder in my career.
I don't even want to think about it.
Why did you reject at first?
As I told you, first forty days.. - Yes!
Rithvik, my son
was a 6-year-old boy then. I had never travelled
or went to shoot without him.
And we were busy with one production.
I thought I can work and even take care of my son.
It would be comfortable for me.
That was eating up time.
When they told forty days
I was shocked and asked, 'Mr Shobhu, really forty days?'
I said, 'Sorry!'.
When I went home, the news was out that a big budget movie
is being made in Telugu. I was in my own world.
Later Vinni came to me and yelled, 'What is wrong with you?'
'Why aren't you doing this movie? Why did you hang up? Call him!'
In two days, Mr Shobhu called me and asked
'Just listen to the story once.' - Yes.
Mr Rajamouli's narration and story
is unbeatable.
The way he narrated was brilliant.
I was mesmerised by my introduction scene.
I didn't pay heed after that. - You went blank.
What a scene!
How beautifully written! - Yes!
In that one scene, that woman's
motherly instincts, that woman's power
that woman's royal strategy, that woman's strength.
That scene exposed everything.
I am lucky to have a scene like that in my career.
"In the court of law, Sivagami takes the call."
"Seeker of truth in the arena, guided by a mother's heart."
I get goosebumps when I talk about it.
I held the two babies in my arms..
The way she sits on the throne. - Yes, she sits holding them.
Itself was something, by holding the babies and sitting.. - Yes!
I felt so overwhelmed and like Queen Mother.
"The sword moves swiftly to cut the arrows."
"The skill he learnt with will power."
"Being an army."
"Winning the hearts."
In first few days you told
'This is going to be my landmark film.'.
You told it's going be one of your iconic films. - Yes!
First few days, she was very clear. It's going to be my..
I thought it will boost my career
but no one predicted to this extent. - Yes!
"Mother is his teacher and deity.."
The character that is etched in the Telugu film industry
is Sivagami.
You set a benchmark with Sivagami character in 'Baahubali'.
It's been ten years
since we witnessed that fierce Sivagami!
This for sure calls for a celebration.
Celebrating ten years of Sivagami.
This celebration is brought to you by our celebration partner 'Ibaco'.
Three cheers to 'Baahubali'.
"In the court of law, Sivagami takes the call."
"Seeker of truth in the arena, guided by a mother's heart."
Ten years of celebration, Baahubali and Sivagami.
"Siva, the fierce one."
"The one who protects us with kind heart as big as a ocean."
Three cheers to Mr Vijayendra Prasad
Three cheers to Mr Rajamouli.
Three cheers to Ms Valli, Ms Rama and the whole team.
"All hail Baahubali! Glory to Baahubali."
"We offer you the 'Aarti' of victory."
Sir, thank you very much.
Thank you! - Before you leave, something for the audience.
About 'Baahubali' or anything you want to say.
'Baahubali' is a life changing moment for me.
It has a special place in my heart.
We are celebrating ten years.
It's re-releasing on 31st. Do check it out.
"All hail Baahubali! Glory to Baahubali."
You have a great connection with clouds.
"Between the clouds.."
"Flying in between the clouds.."
What did you remember? - My life!
"Why is the heart throbbing?"
Life between the clouds.
I know this song was a rage.
This movie was a rage. - Yes!
From there, I connected to Vamshi.
I got married to him, my son, Bebo, was born. It's continuing.
You put in simple words.
According to me, your love story wasn't that simple.
Which love story ever was simple?
We were two strong people. I had a career.
I connected with him
more mentally and..
And I ended up marrying him.
Sometimes I feel marriages are overrated.
We are better friends
better companions. - Yes!
Then husband and wife. - Yes!
If you understand marriage is a process.
What you have initially
when you grow even in friendship
we grow together.
Like that, there are some people who are together
and some people wither off.
So the person I grow with
as a companion is Vamshi.
And as friends, all of you.
You ended it beautifully.
So I was trying to say
there are ups and downs it's natural.
It's common in love stories.
There were a lot of fights, a lot of patch-ups.
Actually we were fighting more before our wedding.
No fights after wedding.
After the patch-up
I was the Best man.
I remember you told, 'Thank God' while blessing us.
"It's only you.."
"You are the only one for me."
Forget that. We have known each other for many years now
you don't call me by any name.
Have you noticed something strange?
You don't call me JB nor Jagapathi nor Babu.
You have no name for me.
In this world if you call someone, they say, 'Hello or good morning'
she's different. She says, 'Aahh!'.
What language is that? Is that the way to greet?
That's how I am with my friends. I say, 'Aahh!'.
Really, 'Aahh!'!
'Aahh!'
Sometimes, in the evenings, you keep giving me names. - No!
I call you, 'Bangaram'. - Oh...
"Shall I wear my anklets? Shall I make you skip a beat?"
"Shall I win over your heart? I will shower my love.."
I need to share an incident during this song.
They covered my face with saree
and asked me to run.
You couldn't see anything.
In the mountains.. - What kind of creativity is this?
But
when I saw it on screen it was great.
I did a guest appearance in this movie.
Our careers were having ups and downs.
'Maavichiguru' is the movie, right?
'Shubalagnam!' - 'Shubalagnam!'
I already told this, but I have to say it in front of her.
Only she can correct
or yell at me.
If she is angry, she will call and swear at you
if you are making a mistake or wasting your money.
During 'Subhalagnam' movie shoot
or during the song shoot
she came to Ooty. - Yes!
I got a movie offer!
Mr Aswani Dutt is the producer, Mr Krishna Reddy is the director.
I was occupied with work.
I asked them to say I am occupied with work, on their arrival.
She came running.
She asked, 'What happened?'. - 'Are you crazy?'
'Are you crazy? Accept it!'
'We can make it happen. I'll do it for you.'
'Accept!'. That's how 'Subhalagnam' happened. That's Ramya.
"Shall I wear the anklets?"
"Shall I make you skip a beat?"
"Shall I win over your heart?
That changed my life. 'Subhalagnam' movie changed it for me.
When I waste my money, she gets angry.
'Are you out of my mind?'
'Are you crazy?', she keeps saying that.
I say, 'I need to keep repeating it all the time.'.
'You keep doing crazy things.'.
Actually his birthday is on 12th
he is the most craziest friend I have.
Oh, my God! - Yes!
His birthday is 12th, my son is born on 13th.
I was praying not to have an Aquarius zodiac sign born.
But my son is not as crazy as him.
My son is not as crazy as him.
Before going into labour
we celebrated his birthday and went to the hospital.
Yes! - For delivery!
From the beginning
she was praying not to give birth to her son on my birthday.
Luckily, he was born on the next day.
She didn't want another Aquarian in her life. - Yes!
You said he's not that crazy.
I hope so! Not sure! - You are just hoping!
We will continue with 'Continental' a strong cup of coffee. Okay?
Okay! - Let's have a coffee.
The 'Continental Xtra Strong Instant Coffee'
has chunky granules, locks the aroma and flavour.
Just how I want my coffee to be.
Quite strong.
Apart from these, I want to say a beautiful thing about Ramya.
First of all, genuine and warm.
Be it laugh, anger or anything
she expresses it wholeheartedly.
She doesn't hold it. At least with close ones.
I have asked many about you. I talk about you every day.
When I ask them about you, they say, 'Wow!'.
'Oh, is it Ramya? Ms Ramya'.
You have a lot of respect
and love from everyone.
Because you are giving them the same.
I haven't noticed this with no other artist.
There are complaints about others.
I haven't heard even a single complaint about you.
That's a beautiful thing.
Thank you! - That's..
Your life is made with that.
Thank you! - I'm really proud of you.
Thank you!
I'm not use to you talk like this.
This needs to be told. - Yes!
People should know my opinion about you.
What I think about you and the world thinks of you!
Thank you!
There's one more thing.
I don't remember the topic, but she revealed it to me.
She struggled a lot.
She told, 'I never regret anything in my life.'.
That's the beauty. We need to remember that.
Everyone keep complaining about their life
and seek sympathy, but she isn't.
She is a complete soul.
Happy soul. So she's living happily.
She's living a life because she has no regrets.
Yes!
In our lives, one thing is very, very valid.
We should hold on to those which are in our control.
We shouldn't worry about those that aren't in our control.
What's done is done.
We don't have to dwell on that. - Correct. History.
You know, it's like, we can't let go of the present.
We must maximise it.
We should be happy all the time. We should have good friends.
That is Ramya Krishna.
She has been through a lot in her life.
Not many people can speak like this.
They always talk about what they have been through.
It is pretty hard on the ears.
Everyone works hard, you know.
We should let the past be in the past.
We must live in the present. We must be satisfied with what we have.
That is what we think.
We have a common friend. Let's talk about them.
Brothers, play the AV of our friend.
'What is it? Are you crying?'
'Look at your situation. Look at your condition.'
'You must have been fed your meals under the moon.'
'If I wish, I can eat my meals on the moon.'
'Nothing you wish for will never come true.'
But if Neelambari sets her mind'
'she will achieve what she wants.'
'Don't wet my feet with your tears.'
'Stop crying.'
Aww!
This is a moment for us to think.
That's why we played that.
Just like her name, Soundarya had a beautiful heart.
Let's talk about some happy moments with her.
Yeah, I saw Soundarya for the first time when we worked on 'Ammoru'.
'The heroine I worked next to in multiple films was Soundarya.'
We have done a lot of movies together. Including 'Kadayappa.'
She is so innocent.
A raw and beautiful child.
She grew up in front of me.
She groomed herself into the way she was.
She didn't lose herself in the process.
She is a beautiful human being. She is a good friend.
She didn't lose herself anywhere.
Yeah.
The reason I played that bit is that
the way you held her face with your feet.
I believe you asked her if she was comfortable with it.
About the scene and how it went down.
What was the situation?
The director of the film was K.S. Ravi Kumar.
If he gets angry in the sets
he would curse everyone.
Even if Soundarya had an objection
I don't think anyone would refuse to do what they have been told.
She didn't have the chance. I didn't have the chance.
But no matter what
putting our leg on someone's face
is a very uncomfortable scene. It is an uncomfortable process.
As a heroine
she is the protagonist.
I am the negative character.
I was scared of the bad press I would get for doing that.
The process of doing it is not easy.
I felt the most pressure.
People might curse me for doing that.
I was worried throughout the shoot of the scene.
But she was very cooperative.
She is one of the professionals actors you can work with.
'You will ask me to be comfortable. But it might bite me back.'
That was my inner voice.
That's how it happened.
You acted with many heroes over the generations.
At one point, there were 8 movies being played in Vijayawada.
The heroes were different.
But Ramya Krishna was common in all the movies.
Is it?
I really didn't know that?
Everyone watched the movie for Ramya Krishna.
All eight movies were being released at the same time
and all of them were a hit.
I think only you have that record.
Thank you. I didn't know that. Thank God!
That's a hallmark of Ramya Krishna.

What is the one role that is remembered
as the character and not Ramya Krishna?
It happened with Neelambari. Now it is Shivagami.
"Handsome hero!"
Which one do you like the most? Neelambari or Shivagami?
I can't say that. - You can't say that?
If I have to put it in a way,
Neelambari propelled me to do Shivagami.
I can't choose between the two eyes. - I get it.
Who is the one director who brought out the queen in you?
Mr Raghavendra Rao.
The role that you regretted.
There are many.
Many? - I can't name them.
Name one. - No. No. No.
No. No. No. - No way.

"My dear, would you like something I make?'
You don't get that anymore after Shivagami.
All the hit songs.
What is the one rule you follow on the sets?
Basic discipline is the rule. - Basic discipline. Okay.
Let's begin Country Delight's presents 'High Five with Zee 5'.
Real answers only.
"Victory shall be perceived."
A hero who matches your on screen energy.
On-screen energy depends on the role.
And I think... A different question.
Okay, in the dance aspect. - Dance?
Are you thinking that they would get upset?
The most filmy thing you did in real life.
I mean, a dramatic thing.
Like in the movies. - Oh no!
I don't know how to do that.
Whom do you like in the present generation actresses?
Which one? - I can't name one.
Sai Pallavi. Keerthi Suresh. Rashmika.
Sreeleela. - Very good. Very nice of you to say that.
Do you like hot coffee or cold coffee?
Hot. - Hot coffee?
Ghee and rice or ghee and dosa?
Ghee, rice, and 'avakay'.
"Oh, man! No one expected this!"
You want everything to be spicy in life.
Okay, Kannamma. Who was your first crush?
First crush is...
Why are you thinking about it so seriously?
Is it? Is that the question?
Yes, that's the question. It's my question, though. Not rapid fire.
It was when I was 12 or 13.
My distant cousin. I won't tell his name.
We decorate the doll stand for Navratri, right? - Yes.
Yes. - Yes. - That's it.
After that, it was gone.
Many people must have approached you ever since you were young.
Are you asking about flirting?
Let it be flirting. Let it be love. Let it be falling head over heels.
Yes. - Many people.
Yeah. Including you.
"Oh my dear darling, do you want some milk?"
"Do you want my love?"
Is there a man who can embarrass Ramya Krishna?
Yes, there is. - Who is that?
You can. - I can?
You can do it.
You can embarrass everyone. - Yeah, I don't embarrass.
You are... Oh! Oh!
Okay.
Do you remember this?
Your dance?
Do I have to speak about it? - Do you want me to dance?
Hey, what? Are you really going to do it?
What are you doing?
"You are my bubbly Bombay girl."
Ah! What?
Get up! Get up! Get up!
"I want you in my embrace."
"I want to dance with you."
This is what I was talking about. This is madness.
He is the craziest friend I have ever had.
One day, we were at a function.
I think it was Filmfare. It was Vamshi and me.
You were driving the car.
Right? We were coming back.
He stopped the car and began dancing in the middle of the road.
We were losing our minds.
We literally didn't know what to do.
I danced in your house. - Yes, you did.
I will zip my mouth.
Finally, she hid behind the sofa. - Yes.
I am the only one who could take Ramya Krishna to that extent.
Okay. Yeah. - That's it.
Yes, we had fun.
Thanks to you.
We are sitting with the glamour queen of the 80s and 90s.
2000s, 2010, and 2020s as well.
I don't mind.

Why not?
How many years have you been maintaining this?
She is a timeless beauty.
What are her style secrets?
Shall we find out in our Oaksmith style studio?
Let's go.
What is the secret behind your never ageing glamour?
Basic discipline with food and exercise.
Stay happy. Don't stress too much. That's it.
Okay. That's your secret.
I believe that because I know you.
What is your off-screen comfort style?
I love kaftans. It is trending these days.
I love loose, nice, and airy kaftans.
If you had to choose one iconic outfit from your movies, what is it?
I love myself in sarees.
There's beauty in the way one wears a saree.
Nothing else can give us that self-satisfaction.
Generally, sarees. - Sarees.
Okay. Whose style do you admire in the present generation?
In the current generation...
You have stylists and many facilities available.
Back in the day, when we didn't have any of those
Ms Rekha has elegantly handled herself then and now as well.
What is style to you?
Your personality.
Will you show us your signature pose?
I can't do that here.
It's pretty tricky to do it here.
There's this. The other one is with two kids.
So cute. - Yeah.
That's a good one.
Okay, love you. Love you. The whole world loves you.
"I have tears of joy in my eyes."
'Glory to Lord Rama!"
