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 …Reflecting my love for Japan 🇯🇵. (sic),” Jr NTR wrote on his official Instagram handle.
