Roja Ramani, a versatile actress known for her journey from a child artist to a prominent figure in the Telugu cinema industry, recently shared a heartfelt moment from her past involving the legendary actor and director N.T. Rama Rao (NTR). In an exclusive interview with Tree Media, she recounted a particular incident that highlighted NTR's considerate nature.
During the shooting of a film directed by NTR, a critical scene required Ramani to simulate a jump into the river from the Krishna Barrage in Vijayawada. The complexity of the shot demanded that she stand on a makeshift platform to ensure her face was visible to the camera below the bridge. However, the only available support was a stack of plastic cans, which were unstable under her weight.
"As I stepped onto the cans, they started slipping, and I was genuinely at risk of falling into the water. The young man assigned to stabilize them struggled to keep them in place. Noticing the predicament, NTR himself came over. He held one of my legs and the cans with his hands, stabilizing the setup," Ramani said, visibly moved by the memory. "That moment, when I saw NTR squatting down to support me, brought tears to my eyes. That was NTR for you, always ensuring everyone's safety and delivering perfection."
This incident not only showcases NTR's dedication to his craft but also his genuine concern for the well-being of his co-stars, making this a memorable experience for Ramani.
