Young and talented Vijay Deverakonda needs no introduction. The handsome man of Tollywood works majorly in Telugu films. His claim to fame without any doubt has to be Arjun Reddy which was remade in Hindi by Sandeep Reddy Vanga in the form of Kabir Singh. However, he didn’t get fame overnight, the actor had his fair share of struggles.
As per reports in Koi Moi, back in 2015, Vijay in a conversation with Star Maa Music’s show Young Star spoke about his initial struggle. He spoke about how his family was sceptical about his acting career and wanted to settle for a decent job. However, he also revealed his family was supportive after the success of Yevade Subramanyam.
Vijay said, “Pressure was building up at home during that gap years. I was a good student in college. I used to spend a lot of time outside the class. And I paid a lot of penalties for attendance shortage. But, I was good with my studies. I topped in exams. So my family was like when he is so good with his studies, why does he want to get into the movies? Unless I keep doing some work, the family would keep quiet knowing at least I’m busy doing something.”
He added, “When there was no work, my sister slowly started to ask questions like Vijay what’s next? She used to ask whether I wanted to pursue my MBA. And she also started sending job applications. And she followed that up with phone calls. I was under a lot of pressure as everyone in the family was concerned about my future. Finally, after Yevade Subramanyam, my family has become very supportive (of my ambition).”
