Senior NTR used to wake up at 3AM every day at his house in Bazullah Road, T.Nagar, Chennai. Right at that time, Vauhini's Pahilwan who was the trusted lieutenant used to massage Vijaya Vahuni studio owner Nagi Reddy, NTR and then Trivikrama Rao. 

He first does massage to NTR, then Trivikrama Rao and then Nagi Reddy. He has a lot of sense of humour and known for his braveness. So NTR, Nagi Reddy, Trivikram Rao used to take care of his family and also gave him a car with a driver.

NTR became extremely busy and Trivikram Rao was lazy enough to wake up at 4 AM. Nagi Reddy used to spend time walking round the garden in the morning. So Pahilwan's car used to stop at NTR's house sharp at 3AM whether he does massage or not. One day NTR woke up earlier than 3AM and was waiting for Pahilwan. 

NTR's house used to be vast with ten cows, four dogs and two horses. Nandamuri brothers used to love horse riding and they used to import special oil for the horses. This helped in the horses shine like anything. 

Pahilwan used to massage NTR with that oil. NTR was ready for the massage. NTR used to have a gold chain round his waist. He used to smoke Sri Lanka's brand tobacco but later stopped it. 

Pahilwan finally came. NTR had a hilarious habit of repenting in his heart if he hurts anyone. The moment they appear, he used to interact with them jovially. NTR started talking with Pahilwan, shared his shooting experiences etc. After one hour massage, Pahilwan said  in his own style 'Selavu Mahaprabho.. vellostanu'. NTR liked Mahaprabho word and used it in many of his films. 

NTR then surprised saying 'Brother Pahilwan.. Meelo Pasa taggindi. Vayasu paibadutunnattundi avnaa". Pahilwan at once removed his headband and said 'ee maat meeranakoodadu.. nenu vinakoodadu, selavippinchandi'. 

Pahilwan did not come after that despite repeated phone calls from NTR. He even handed over the ambassador car to Nagi Reddy.
