“My First Award in My Second Life”: Sai Durgha Tej’s Emotional Moment With His Mother

Mega hero Sai Durgha Tej’s latest post with his mother has struck an emotional chord, capturing the arc of his life in two photographs. The first takes us back to Pilla Nuvvu Leni Jeevitham, where his mother received his Best Debut Award, an unfiltered moment marking the start of his journey.

The second, from the 2025 Eugenix Filmfare Glamour & Style Awards South, reflects his rebirth. After surviving a life-threatening accident, his mother once again accepted an award on his behalf – this time for Most Desirable Star (Male). His lines, “My first award in my second life is taken by AMMA” and “Ye janmalo punyam chesukunano telidhu… neeku kodukuga puttanu Amma,” underline a gratitude shaped by everything he’s endured. Together, the images frame a beginning and a comeback, both anchored by his mother’s steady presence.

On the professional front, Tej is entering a strong phase. After the Rs. 100 crore success of Virupaksha, he is now gearing up for the Rs. 12 crore pan-India action drama SYG: Samabrala Yeti Gattu, one of the industry’s most awaited upcoming films.
