Jr NTR talks about his sons’ future in acting: They clearly want to become actors
During an interview, Jr. NTR shared insights about his parenting approach, and stressed the importance of allowing his sons to choose their own path.
Jr NTR, father of 10-year-old Abhay and 6-year-old Bhargav, recently opened up about his approach to parenting, especially about his children’s possible future in acting. While his sons are inclined towards this profession, the RRR star emphasized this during a recent interview associated Press He had no desire to impose his career path on them.
“I don’t want to impose it on them. I do not want. I definitely feel that kids today really need to have a mind of their own. They need to be exposed to something where they can decide what they want to do. “I don’t want to be a hindrance by saying what do you know, do this, do that,” Jr NTR said.
Speaking about the different personalities of his sons, the actor said, “My two boys are coming from the same mother’s womb, but they are completely different. They are opposites. I mean, how does that happen? That is nature. I don’t want to have any ideas saying, ‘You have to be in the arts, you have to do this,’ because my father and mother didn’t do that with me. They just let me explore, so I want to do the same thing. “I don’t want to impose anything on them.”
However, Jr. NTR admitted that due to his constant exposure to his career, his son naturally gravitates towards acting. “They are always in touch with my profession. And I think this exposure is never going to leave them. They obviously want to become actors one day because they look up to having an actor father. Whenever they see him on screen, they always want to be an actor,” he said.
He concluded by saying that he is ready to guide his children if they eventually decide to pursue acting. “Because that’s the exposure they’re getting. But other than that, I really want to give them plenty of opportunities to choose wisely. Ultimately, if at the end of the day, they want to be an actor, why not? I am here to guide you if you need.
On the professional front, the actor was recently seen in Devara: Part One. Directed by Koratala Siva, the film stars Jr NTR, Janhvi Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan. The film was released in theaters on 27 September.
