What Jr NTR Did With His First Remuneration?

The actor, who was thrilled about getting paid for the first time did nothing but count, re-count, and again re-count the amount, several times a day. "It was unbelievable for me and when I received the amount, I kept counting it several times a day. I was so skeptical that I used to always change the place where I saved them and wasn't sure of anybody. I was worried that someone would take that money away. Even when I was shooting, I would come home and count the money and place it somewhere else than before. This happened for a month or so before I finally put it all in my mother's hand," added the actor.
