Nagarjuna Akkineni, the veteran Telugu actor and host of the reality show Bigg Boss Telugu, recently met with Vijay Deverakonda, the co-star of his daughter-in-law Samantha Ruth Prabhu in the upcoming film 'Kushi.' During their conversation, Nagarjuna playfully asked Vijay about Samantha's whereabouts and even showered praises on her.
Vijay told Nagarjuna that Samantha is currently in the US to look after her health. He added that he hoped Samantha would be able to join the promotional events and interviews in India soon. Nagarjuna responded by saying that Vijay is a fantastic actor and that Samantha is a very good actress. He also said that they make for an amazing pair.
Vijay has been a vocal admirer of Samantha's work. Soon after the launch of the 'Kushi' trailer, he said that he had a crush on her and that he has watched all her films. He also took to social media to praise her Yashoda trailer last year.
