Nani’s son Arjun may be a star kid, but his dreams lie far from the silver screen. Unlike his father, the little one is passionate about music. The 8-year-old aspires to become a rockstar rather than an actor, showing a deep love for melodies and instruments. While many expect star kids to follow in their parent's footsteps, Arjun is making his own path, with music as his true calling.

Who is Arjun?

Nani shares a special bond with his son, Arjun. Born on March 29, 2017, Arjun's name has a unique connection to the actor's film career. Initially, Nani and his wife, Anjana Yelavarthy, expected a baby girl and had shortlisted names. However, after welcoming a son, they decided on "Arjun," inspired by one of his movie roles. They both loved the name and felt it suited him perfectly.

Arjun has been passionate about music from an early age. Unlike his father, he is drawn to instruments and melodies. He has already started learning the piano and enjoys playing tunes from his father's hit songs. In a touching gesture for Nani’s 40th birthday, Arjun played the song Hoyna Hoyna from his film Jersey on the piano as a surprise gift.
