Sai Dharam Tej reveals whether he is jealous of cousins Ram Charan and Allu Arjun's success: ‘We’re all flowers of the same plant'

The Mega family is known for holding talented actors like Chiranjeevi, Nagababu, Pawan Kalyan, his son Ram Charan, and nephews like Allu Arjun, Varun Tej, and Sai Dharam Tej. In a recent interview, actor Sai Dharam Tej (now Sai Durgha Tej) addressed the question of whether the cousins have ever felt jealous of each other for being more successful in the industry.

At an event in Hyderabad, Sai told ABPLive that he and his cousins, including Bunny (Allu Arjun), Ram Charan, and Vaisshnav Tej, never anticipated becoming actors. He initially believed he would have a typical 9-to-5 job but realized he wanted more fulfillment. Sai emphasized that their entry into acting was unplanned and organic, leading him to feel no jealousy towards their successes. “So, I don’t envy them for their success. Because we’re all flowers of the same plant. Flowers of the same plant don’t compete; they bloom together,” he clarified.


He further shared insights about family gatherings with fellow actors, revealing that films rarely dominate their conversations. Instead, they focus on societal contributions, personal interests like food and fashion, and meaningful discussions. He expressed gratitude for the opportunity to collaborate with his uncle, Pawan Kalyan, in the film 'Bro'. “I’m happy I got to work with my uncle (Pawan) in 'Bro'. That film is my guru dakshina to him for guiding me through my career. He helped me through a lot,” Sai stated.

Prior to the release of 'Republic' in 2021, Sai met with a major motorbike accident and went into a coma for two weeks. He made a comeback in 2023 with the horror film 'Virupaksha'.
