I hadn’t thought of being anything other than a doctor, this career move has come as a big surprise even to me. It is all in the mind and I want to get ahead in my life, Of course, a few people who were close to me and my family did say that I should not get into the industry this young. But my mind was made up and I was confident that I could act and study well at the same time. My mother has placed her trust in me, allowing me to pursue my interest in acting, and now I will do my part and get my MBBS.” [4]Cinema express

He mentioned that despite a family court decision made earlier, Sreeleela’s mother is pursuing further legal action for increased alimony, leading to pending divorce cases in other courts. Rao emphasized that Sreeleela incorrectly uses his name in media discussions, which he views as an attempt to unfairly stake claim to his properties. [5]The Times of India
