Chinmayi Sripada

Taking to her Instagram handle, the Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Telugu judge did not just share a throwback picture as a part of the challenge but indeed shared her back story too. Chinmayi took the opportunity to give a glimpse of her life 10 years back with a pinch of introspection as well.

"10 years ago.

I lived in a miserable apartment in Saligramam with neighbours that harassed everyday. We’d find eggs, the head of a rooster and random bead-necklaces at my doorstep in a way of scaring us away from the apartment that some neighbors were competing to buy. Only respite was our landlord who stood by us like a rock.

My career was slowly getting better as Sahana had happened. Varayo Varayo has released; people thought, oh she can sing ��. Blue Elephant was putting food on my plate and happily so. :) I was in the midst of hosting Super Singer and being an RJ with a morning breakfast show.

Life was happy, tough, miserable, successful, desolate and good, all in

one.

I met the erstwhile CM JJ at her residence and remembered being awed by her. I blabbered, made her laugh because I am sure I amused her no end. Told her about a word called ‘thulped’. Still remember how she giggled.

10 years on, I am a better person, I learned to not hold grudges, get wayy less angry, learned (still learning) to choose to be the better person.

#10yearchallenge (sic)," reads her post.
