Adding a personal touch, Sobhita gifted PM Modi a Kondapalli dancing doll, a cherished handicraft from Andhra Pradesh. Sharing her nostalgia, she wrote, “Anyone who knows me knows how much I adore kondapalli bommalu (dancing dolls), their memories trace back to my childhood years in my grandparents’ home in Tenali. So happy to be able to gift him one, and to find that he knows all about this old handicraft and its nativity to Andhra Pradesh.” ‘Thank You for Honouring My Father’: Akkineni Nagarjuna Expresses Gratitude to PM Narendra Modi for Recognising Akkineni Nageswara Rao’s Centenary Year.
