Jr NTR’s latest social media engagement with a couple of fans has revealed a more playful side of the star. On Friday night, the actor shared an Insta story featuring freshly baked chocolate chip cookies with the caption, “Not bought. Baked.” The post went viral in no time because of what followed next on X.
One fan jokingly requested Tarak to send the cookies to his address. Instead of a routine reply, the actor responded with a rehashed Brahmanandam meme from the movie King. The unexpected reaction certainly surprised his fans. Another follower received a similar surprise when Tarak replied with a different Brahmi meme from Badshah.
The actor’s growing comfort with internet culture is now evident. During the promotions of RRR, in 2022, Tarak had already shown familiarity with memes and online trends in an interview with Suma Kanakala. His latest responses indicate that he continues to stay connected with the cool humour of Telugu yuvatha on social media.
The question is, does this mark a refreshing shift in his online engagement. Rather than limiting himself to dry promotional posts and formal tweets, Tarak is sharing glimpses of his private interests. Such moments make stars appear more accessible and relatable.
We could see more of this dimension of Jr NTR's offscreen personality in the coming months. Perhaps, the game is to be in the news continuously ahead of the release of Dragon on 11 June 2027.
