Those words deeply hurt me - Vaishnavi

Young actress Vaishnavi Chaitanya shot to fame with the blockbuster ‘Baby’ and quickly gained a massive following among the youth. She is now busy with several projects, including ‘EPIC First Semester’, which reunites her with Anand Deverakonda after ‘Baby’. Directed by Aditya Hasan, who gained popularity with the ‘90s – A Middle Class Biopic’ series, the film is set to hit theatres on September 11. At a recent event, Vaishnavi recalled how some people questioned her identity early in her career, asking, “Who will recognize you? If someone searches your name on Google, will they even find any information?”

Although those comments deeply hurt her at the time, Vaishnavi said she immediately decided to turn the humiliation into motivation and success. She expressed happiness that things have changed completely and that a Google search for her name now brings up detailed information about her, calling it an “epic moment” in her life. She also praised Anand Deverakonda, saying she learned an important lesson from him: when people around us grow, we should genuinely be happy for them. Describing Anand as a rare person, she appreciated his positive attitude and supportive nature.
