Meet Nani’s Son Arjun Who Has No Plans to Enter Films But Is Passionate About Music

by

Instead of following in the footsteps of his famous father towards the silver screen, Nani’s son Arjun, at just 8 years old, harbors a different dream – that of becoming a rockstar. His passion lies not in acting but in music, and he cherishes melodies and instruments deeply. Unlike many star kids, Arjun is forging his own unique path, with the world of music being his true vocation.

Who is Arjun?

Nani has a cherished relationship with his child, Arjun. Born on March 29, 2017, the name “Arjun” carries a distinct link to the actor’s professional life. At first, Nani and his spouse Anjana Yelavarthy anticipated a daughter and had chosen names in advance. Upon having a son instead, they selected “Arjun,” drawing inspiration from one of his film characters. They were captivated by the name and believed it fittingly represented him.

From a young age, I’ve harbored a deep-seated affection for music, a passion that sets me apart from my father. Unlike him, who found his love in vocals, I find myself captivated by instruments and melodies. I’ve recently embarked on a musical journey with the piano, discovering joy in playing tunes, some of which are reminiscent of my father’s hit songs. In a heartwarming gesture for Nani’s 40th birthday, I surprised him by playing the song “Hoyna Hoyna” from Jersey on the piano. It was more than just a melody; it was a tribute to his cinematic legacy.

Nani expressed his joy over this revelation and merely hopes that Arjun continues with his musical endeavors.

When queried about whether Arjun recognizes his father’s renown, the Hi Nanna actor clarified that his son realizes he is an actor and has observed him on television. Yet, at home, Arjun rarely ponders it. Moreover, Nani reminisced about occasions when Arjun’s companions discussed his films, and during those instances, Arjun would confidently refer to him as “my dad.
