Ill health forces Ram Charan to skip the Nandi Awards

Actor Ram Charan Tej, who was awarded the Special Jury award for his film ���������Magadheera��������� for the year 2009, was conspicuous with his absence at the Nandi Awards night on Friday.
And much hoopla was made about him giving the awards night a skip. But the actor, who wants to put all rumors to rest, tells us that he was not able to receive the award personally as he was unwell.
���������I���������ve been ill for a while and I���������ve been working overnight on the ���������Zanjeer��������� script. I had an appointment with the doctor too. That���������s the only reason I couldn���������t make it. I���������m honored and humbled that I have been awarded the Nandi a second time. My first Nandi was a Special Jury Award for my debut, ���������Chirutha���������. I���������m very grateful for all the love shown to me,��������� says Ram Charan Tej.
The actor who will turn 27 tomorrow, is busy with his Bollywood debut right now, apart from working on two big Tollywood ventures ��������� ���������Racha��������� and ���������Yevadu���������.
