On the occasion of being honored with the Padma Bhushan Award, I extend my heartfelt gratitude to the Government of India for bestowing this prestigious recognition upon me.
I am deeply thankful to everyone who has conveyed their wishes and blessings on this occasion.
I express my gratitude to my fellow actors, technicians, producers, distributors, exhibitors, family members, and the entire film fraternity who have been a part of this long and eventful journey.
I am forever indebted to my fans, who have stood by me as the proud successor of my father, the late Nandamuri Taraka Rama Rao garu, and to the countless audiences who continue to shower their unwavering love and support upon me.
I also extend my congratulations to my fellow Padma awardees on this joyous occasion.
Then… Now… Forever…
Always yours,
Nandamuri Balakrishna
