In a recent episode of the talk show Unstoppable with NBK Season 4 , Allu Arjun delighted fans by appearing alongside his children, Allu Ayaan and Allu Arha. During the conversation with host Nandamuri Balakrishna, the actor opened up about his close bond with his uncle, Megastar Chiranjeevi , offering heartfelt glimpses into their relationship from his childhood. Allu Arjun shared that while his connection with Chiranjeevi became widely recognized when he was in his twenties, the earlier years of their relationship remain less familiar to the public.

Fondly referring to his uncle as " Chik Babai, " Arjun reminisced about a treasured childhood memory where Chiranjeevi took him, his brother Sirish, and other family members on an unforgettable trip abroad.

During the chat, Nandamuri Balakrishna playfully asked Allu Arjun’s children, Ayaan and Arha , about their favorite actors. In an unexpected moment, neither of them named their father. Arha humorously declared herself her favorite, referencing her role as a boy in the film Shaakuntalam .

Meanwhile, Ayaan revealed that his favorite actor is Prabhas, citing his love for the action-packed roles, especially in Baahubali . When Balakrishna teased Ayaan, asking if his choice was influenced by Prabhas being Allu Arjun’s best friend, Ayaan candidly replied, "No. Because I like Baahubali .

" On the professional front, Allu Arjun is gearing up for the highly anticipated release of Pushpa 2: The Rule on December 5, 2024.
