Nagarjuna’s son Akhil Akkineni had all things beautiful to say about his father on the occasion of his 61st birthday. He posted a photo from his horse-riding session with Nagarjuna and called him an “incredible human being”.
“Well…. this picture sort of defines our relationship in many ways. As I try to to run he always anchors me. Walking me through life. It’s the mind that matters most, and his mind is something that i truly admire. Beyond the fitness, beyond the everlasting youth he has in him and beyond all of that fame, it’s the mind! Calm and composed. You truly are an incredible human being. Happy birthday my dearest father! Love Akhil,” read the caption of the photo shared by Akhil.
