Jr NTR reflects his love for Japan as he introduces his new buddies Asahi & Yuuhi Hyderabad, May 20 (IANS) Marking his birthday, Jr NTR introduced his Insta Family to his new pet friends, Asahi and Yuuhi.

The ‘RRR’ actor pointed out that the names of his birds reflect his immense love for Japan.

“Introducing my birdies Asahi & Yuuhi â€¦Reflecting my love for Japan ðŸ‡¯ðŸ‡µ. (sic),” Jr NTR wrote on his official Instagram handle.

In March this year, the Telugu heartthrob was in Japan as part of the promotional tour of “Devara: Part 1″.

Expressing his gratitude to the people of Japan, Jr NTR uploaded a video of himself surrounded by a sea of his Japanese fans.

The caption on the post went, â€œMy visits to Japan always give me beautiful memories but this one hit differently. Hearing a Japanese fan tell me she learned Telugu after watching RRR truly moved meâ€.
