Jagpati hopes that these stories will resonate with anyone struggling to get inspiration. “My life, as everyone knows, has been a roller coaster. Everyone falls and everyone gets up. Finally, we bounce back. I want people to feel comfortable, wait for their time, and to understand that nothing really loses nothing until life is lost. Save your life, and then you can do anything,” they say.
He also wants the audience to see that celebrities also struggle like everyone. “There are many people who feel mentally less and left. The show is for them. I want to know that celebrities also have to go through ups and downs. We are equal.”

The first episode, telecast with actor Nagarjuna as a guest on August 17, was especially emotional for Jagapati.

I was thanking Zee for being a rival.

Authenticity is central for his philosophy. He wants to present himself without a filter and reminds people of his shared humanity. “I want to live in the truth as much as possible. I cannot say that I am absolutely pure, 100%on everything, but at least what we are forgetting is something close to what we are. People are almost forgotten, which we cannot forget. I can’t forget. I want to spread love and beautiful factors that ‘no one is less, no more is’.”
The experienced actor has worked in Tamil, Malayalam and Kannada cinema. At the age of 63, he bends on the Telugu phrase Opiri Annantha Varku Opika Andal (Be patient until you have a breath) and Amitabh quotes Bachchan’s tireless feeling as an inspiration to pursue his craft. “It’s about passion and love and how you are enjoying your journey.”
From the introduction of an OTT in 2018, to transition infections originally in influential negative roles in Telugu cinema, Jagapati Babu has never chosen a safe passage. A strong believer in the Destiny, he prefers to go with the flow. “I don’t like to live in a room or place. I want to live in the open, not between the four walls. I like to live life.”
Looking forward, he expects to experiment with challenging characters. “The only thing I know in the world is cinema. I do not know anything else, because everyone knows that I am a bad businessman – I have neither intelligence, inclination, nor greed for money. What is enough.”
