Nagarjuna reveals the secret to looking 40 at 65

When questioned about what makes him look and stay young after all these years, the actor, with all modesty, said, “I don’t know. I eat correctly. I don’t starve myself or go on a crash diet.”





Then he shared the second non-negotiable he has when it comes to his health, “I haven’t missed my morning exercise for fortyfive years, from when there were no gyms, unless I am really unwell.”

Last but not least, the third and most essential element of his lifestyle goes beyond just surface work. He said, “Most importantly, I think positively. I never allow myself to get disheartened, no matter what the situation.”

An example of his positive thinking is also reflected when he opened up about his 2025 journey and said that it has been ‘very satisfying.’

Spreading opitmisim he continued, “On both the personal and professional front, I couldn’t have hoped for more. My younger son, Akhil, got married to a lovely girl, and he is very happy with her. My elder son, Chaitanya, got married on December 24, and they have just completed one year of happily married life.”

When Rajinikath joked about Nagarjuna looking younger

On a lighter note, even Rajinikanth couldn’t get over Nagarjuna’s reverse aging techniques.

During an event of ‘Coolie,’ the movie in which Rajinikanth and Nagarjuna shared the screen, ‘Thalaivar’ also pulled the ‘Shiva’ actor’s leg. Establishing that Nagarjuna never looks like he has aged, Rajinikanth said, “I once acted with him 33 (34) years ago (Shanti Kranthi in 1991). He looked younger than he did back then. I’ve lost all my hair, and yet he’s maintaining his skin and physique. I asked him how he did it, and he said, nothing but exercise and diet.”
