Amala Akkineni Opens Up About Her Bond With Stepson Naga Chaitanya: ‘Got To Know Him When…’

Amala Akkineni recently opened up about her bond with Naga Chaitanya. The actress shared that her bond with her stepson wasn’t built during childhood, but when he was in college. Amala said that Naga used to live with his mother, Lakshmi Daggubati, in Chennai. When he was in college, he moved to Hyderabad, and it was then that Amala became close to Chaitanya. She spoke about the different journeys she experienced with Naga Chaitanya.

In a podcast on NTV, Amala Akkineni said, “Chaitanya was a young man when I really got to know him because his mother used to live in Chennai. He grew up there. He came to Hyderabad only for college. Of course, I was very much in touch with him, but I really got to know him when he moved to Hyderabad. Lovely human being. He has maturity and wisdom beyond his age. Very responsible. He is the kind of person who has never made mistakes and has always listened to his father. So, he always had his own planning and thought.”

Talking about Akhil, Amala highlighted how differently she parented him. She said, “Akhil, of course, is my son, and I had a lot of influence on him. We brought up our boys to be very independent. They have been taught to make decisions for themselves from a young age… They grew up beautifully. They had the love and support of not just the family, but the audience, too.”
