Actress and filmmaker Niharika Konidela celebrated her brother Varun Tej's birthday with a touching social media post on Monday. She expressed deep affection for the actor, calling him the brightest star in her sky.
A Sibling Bond Across Lifetimes
Niharika admitted feeling extremely lucky to call Varun her 'Anna,' which means elder brother in Telugu. She shared her hope to have him as a brother in every lifetime. The post included nostalgic throwback photos of the siblings together.
The brightest star in my sky...My forever ride or die, Niharika wrote. I know you hate mushy dialogues, so I'll keep this short...or at least try. In every lifetime, I hope I'm lucky enough to get you as my Anna.
A Long-Held Wish Comes True
Niharika revealed she had always wanted to hold Varun as a baby, having seen pictures of him as an exceptionally cute child. She never got that chance until now.
Her wish finally materialized through Varun's newborn son, Vaayuv Tej Konidela. And now the universe went, "here you go..Because I get to hold your carbon copy, little Vaayuv in my arms", she added joyfully.
Birthday Blessings and Professional Updates
Niharika concluded her heartfelt message with birthday wishes for Varun. This year going to be officially the most special, most blessed, and most successful so far. I love you endlessly. Grateful for you every single day. Okay okay Mushy quota done. I love you, my guardian angel, she wrote while tagging Varun's social media handle.
Varun Tej and his wife Lavanya Tripathi welcomed their first child, baby boy Vaayuv, in September last year. The couple announced the happy news with a beautiful black-and-white hospital photo showing Lavanya holding their newborn while Varun kissed her forehead.
On the professional front, Varun was last seen in the period action thriller 'Matka.' Directed by Karuna Kumar, the film features Meenakshi Chaudhary and Nora Fatehi in significant roles. The actor continues to be an active presence in Telugu cinema.
The Konidela family remains one of Telugu cinema's most prominent film families. Niharika's emotional tribute highlights the strong sibling bond that exists beyond their public personas in the entertainment industry.
