Taking to his social media timelines to pen his thoughts on the phenomenal amount of love that had been showered on him by way of messages, greetings and posts on socila media, Teja Sajja wrote, “As far as I can remember, I’ve never really celebrated my birthdays. I always felt that I hadn’t achieved anything worth celebrating yet in life.”
The star, who has delivered two blockbusters back to back, further said, “Birthdays have usually been a time for me to reflect on my journey, but yesterday, for the first time, I truly felt — from where we started to where we are today, we have come a very, very long way.”

In particular, the actor thanked his directors and producers. He wrote, “A very special thanks to all my directors and producers who have been such an important part of this journey. I’m always aware that whatever I have achieved has only been possible because of the support and love of the audience and the blessings of God.
Hopefully, someday, I will celebrate when we achieve something that creates real change, makes an impact, and is truly meaningful and helpful to society. There is still a very long way to go. Big dreams ahead.”
For the unaware, the makers of the actor’s next film chose to announce the film’s title on the occasion of his birthday on Sunday.
