Reminiscing about meeting NTR during his childhood, Ram Charan says,
"I met NTR Garu only once. I and Purandhareswari gari's son Ritesh used to go to skating classes as kids. We used to finish our classes by early morning 5:30 to 6:00. One day Ritesh asked me to go to his grandfather's house. He was a chief minister at that time. We both went from Purandhareswari Gari house by skating. We went to Rama Rao Gari's house by 6:30 AM.
But, when we reached his house, He was already got up and readied. He is about to have his breakfast. As everyone is aware, He is having a big chicken piece at that age healthily. When he saw me he made me sit and offered tiffin. I felt I was lucky. I always cherish those moments of sharing breakfast with him. Thanks to Purandhareswari Garu for providing me with that opportunity. His name will live as long as there is Telugu Film Industry.", Said Ram Charan.
