Now, there are reports that Tenali built the temple premise in his house by spending Rs 5 lakh. Tenali claimed that his initial wish was to make a larger temple but his finances did not allow him to fulfil his wish. So instead of a big temple, he built a smaller one.

Tenali was not only a fan of Samantha’s impressive acting mettle but also was moved by her philanthropic work. Speaking with the media persons Tenali shared that Samantha took the initiative to perform heart operations for needy children through a foundation. “As she hails from a humble background, she always stands for the needy ones. This incident made my admiration double for her,” he added.

When the Shaakuntalam actress was diagnosed with Myositis last year and opened up about her diagnosis in October last year, Tenali also went on a five-day pilgrimage trip to Tirumala, Ameen Peer Dargah, and Velankanni Church to pray for her health.
