"If You Can't Carry On Your Parents' Achievements & Legacy, Then You're...," Says Rana Daggubati On Nepotism!
During the talk show, the host, singer Smita quizzed them about their opinion on nepotism. While both of them had shared their views, Rana's comments on the same have caught the attention of everybody.
Rana
Daggubati
is
a
multi-talented
youngster
in
Tollywood,
who
spread
his
wings
far
and
wide,
becoming
the
first
of
young
generation
heroes
to
cross
borders.
Coming
from
an
established
film
background
with
a
family
full
of
producers
and
actors,
Rana,
has
carved
a
niche
for
himself
and
attained
an
image
on
his
own.

On
the
other
hand,
actor
Nani,
who
is
often
referred
to
as
the
'Natural
star',
is
an
outsider
who
came
up
the
ladder
through
his
efforts
and
hard
work,
to
become
one
of
the
most
bankable
and
self-made
stars
of
Tollywood.
Both
Rana
and
Nani
set
an
incredible
example
to
the
people
out
there,
looking
to
become
successful-with
or
without
support.
Nani
and
Rana
Daggubati,
who
are
best
of
the
buddies
in
Tollywood
have
shared
space
on
a
brand
new
talk
show
for
SonyLIV
OTT.
They
spoke
at
large
about
films
and
had
a
nice
time
together,
away
from
their
usual
commitments.
Nani
and
Rana
are
friends
since
their
beginning
days
and
Rana
was
one
among
the
strictly
personal
circle
of
invitees
to
Nani's
marriage
in
Visakhapatnam.
During
the
talk
show,
the
host,
singer
Smita
quizzed
them
about
their
opinion
on
nepotism.
While
both
of
them
had
shared
their
views,
Rana's
comments
on
the
same
have
caught
the
attention
of
everybody.
Contrary
to
the
usual
answer
to
nepotism
and
its
effects-
only
talent
will
make
you
successful
even
if
you
are
from
a
privileged
background-
Rana's
answer
came
as
a
reasonable
point
for
the
viewers.
He
said,
"
If
you
can't
carry
on
your
parents'
achievements
and
legacy,
then
you're
doing
a
disservice
to
your
family."

grandfather,
legendary
D
Ramanaidu
was
the
first
of
the
Daggubati
family
to
have
ventured
out
into
the
movies.
He
earned
the
moniker
'Movie
Mughal'
for
his
contribution
to
Indian
cinema.
He
was
one
of
the
most
renowned
personalities.
His
sons-
Rana's
father

Rana's
uncle.
In
addition,
Rana
and
Naga
Chaitanya
are
cousins.
On
February
24,
marking
the
birthday
of
Nani,
Rana
put
up
a
status
of
him
on
his
social
media
handle
with
Nani,
where
he
was
seen
holding
Nani's
chin
as
a
gesture
of
affection,
writing
'Happy
Birthday.'
On
the
work
front,
Nani
is
ready
to
hit
the
screens
with
Dasara
on
March
30,
and
Rana
is
hands
full
with
acting,
production,
new
scripts,
etc.
