A few years ago when ANR was called on to speak on the dais, he confessed his feelings.
He said, "I was with inferiority complex in my earlier days of career. Although I was senior most of all, I was afraid while acting with NTR and SVR. They were highly dominating and vigorous. I used to speak soft and my voice was not well matured for many years. I practiced a lot to get boldness to my voice. I struggled a lot to catch their pace. I really strived a lot during Mayabazaar".
That's really a sincere confession of this elderly star.
