At a recent promotional event for the film Sodhara, producer SKN addressed Mumbai-based actress Aarti Gupta. He gently encouraged her to familiarize herself with Telugu and expressed his hope that she would attempt to speak at least a little Telugu at their next gathering.
SKN remarked that, while the Telugu film industry graciously welcomes and supports artists from diverse linguistic backgrounds, it would be truly admirable if they also made an effort to learn the local language.
Inspired by SKN's words, actress Aarti Gupta has reportedly started her Telugu language journey. She even shared a photograph on social media, offering a glimpse into her language studies.
SKN is known for producing the blockbuster, Baby. Starring Anand Deverakonda and Vaishnavi Chaitanya in lead roles, Baby was released in 2023.
Recently, SKN stated that he encourages Telugu actresses all the time. "I am one of the few producers who have introduced Many Telugu actresses to the industry. I have introduced 8 talented individuals to the industry so far and am set to introduce 25 more Talented Telugu girls across 4-5 different crafts in cinema through my next and upcoming films. Supporting and promoting Telugu talent has always been my priority," SKN said.
