Nassar reveals his bonding with Chiranjeevi. legendary actor Nassar, a close friend of Megastar Chiranjeevi, recently shared a heartfelt anecdote about their shared history and a missed opportunity for collaboration.
Nassar, a former classmate of Chiranjeevi in Chennai, reminisced about the days when he witnessed Chiranjeevi's early success in the film industry. Nassar, then working in a hotel, stumbled upon Chiranjeevi's film set and was struck by Chiranjeevi's kindness and encouragement. Chiranjeevi, recognizing Nassar's talent, offered him an opportunity to join the film industry. However, Nassar, unsure of the uncertain path of acting, declined the offer, preferring the stability of his hotel job.
Years later, Chiranjeevi became a megastar, and Nassar found success in films directed by Balachander. Despite their friendship, they never worked together, a fact that both acknowledged and reflected upon with a hint of sadness.
Nassar revealed that their first collaboration happened during Chiranjeevi's 150th film, "Khaidi No 150," but it was a small role, far from the kind of partnership they had envisioned. Nassar shared that the missed opportunities were a topic of conversation between them, filled with shared nostalgia and a touch of emotion.
Nassar also recounted a touching memory from their college days in Chennai. Nassar, having to leave for a train journey early in the morning, would often carry only rice for his meal, a humble offering from his mother. Chiranjeevi, witnessing this, intervened, ensuring Nassar was included in the group of friends who dined together at the Andhra Mess, a gesture of compassion and camaraderie.
Nassar's story highlights the power of friendship and the often-unforeseen twists of fate. While their paths in the film industry diverged, their shared history and enduring friendship remain a testament to the powerful bonds forged in the early stages of their journey.
