In an interview with iFlickz, Rana Daggubati had once addressed his close relationship with his first cousin, Naga Chaitanya. Recalling childhood memories with him, Rana had said, “From childhood, I’ve been surrounded by my own siblings and cousins, a total of eight of us. Cousins are usually your first best friends and it’s been the same with Naga Chaitanya and myself. I’m the eldest cousin and he’s two years younger, so we’ve grown up together. We’ve confided in each other, we’ve shared secrets and learnt a lot from each other. My sister Malavika, brother Abiram and Naga Chaitanya, along with my uncle Venkatesh’s children, would all go on family vacations together. My sister is now married and has a baby. Slowly other cousins will get married as well. But our relationship with each other will not change. Even today I make it a point to have dinner with Naga Chaitanya a few times a week when we are in town together. We are growing up but not growing apart."
