New Delhi: One of the co-stars of Rajinikanth, who was never seen in a leading role, is now a son who is serving the nation as an IAS officer. In this feature, we are talking about an actor who shared screen space with Thalaiva, but remained in supporting roles throughout his career.
While many can assume that his son following his cinematic footsteps to become a superstar, he chose one of the public service, completely different routes. He cracked one of the most difficult exams in India: UPSC Civil Services Examination.
UPSC is held in three harsh stages- prelims, mains and interviews. Not only he cleaned the three, but he also achieved the all -India rank of 75.
Who is this actor?
We are talking about Tamil actor Chini Jayant, whose real name is Krishnamurthy Narayanan. He has appeared in popular films like Raja Chinna Roja, Adhiya Pirvi and Petta along with Rajinikanth. Despite his comprehensive work, Chinni was never in the lead roles.
However, his son made headlines not in cinema, but in civil service. Sritanjay Narayanan chose to stay away from the headlines and make his way.
Sritanjay’s educational journey
Sritanjay completed his engineering degree before starting his UPSC preparation in 2015. He earned a bachelor’s degree in geographical informality and cartography. Later, he earned a master’s degree in liberal art and science/liberal studies from Ashok University.
His professional experience
Unlike many UPSC candidates, who focus only on academics, Sritanjay gained valuable work experience along with his studies. He served as a marketing intern in a startup, co-establishing an event company called Aymara events, and served as a project manager at the Nascom Foundation. He studied 5-6 hours a day to stay on the track continuously.
Sritanjay’s UPSC visit
Sraitanjay appeared for his first UPSC effort in 2018, resulting in success. However, he did not give up. In his second attempt in 2019, he achieved an influential All India Rank (Air) of 75.
He initially worked as a sub-sector of Tiruppur district and is currently serving as a sub-sector of Villupuram district.
This IAS officer’s journey is a will for the fact that you should not pull down failures and failures- rather instead instead instead of pushing you hard. To get a national service from being the son of a supporting actor, Sritanjay Narayanan’s story is one of perseverance, patience and quiet determination.
