Recently, NTR surprised his followers by sharing an Instagram story featuring a batch of freshly baked chocolate chip cookies. Accompanying the picture was a simple yet delightful caption: “Not bought. Baked."
Actor Jr NTR has once again won hearts with a thoughtful gesture that began as a light-hearted social media interaction and ended with a memorable surprise for a fan and his family.
Known among fans for his passion for cooking, NTR recently shared an Instagram story featuring a batch of homemade chocolate chip cookies with the caption, “Not bought. Baked.” The post quickly attracted attention, with one fan responding on X, jokingly requesting, “I have two kids… I need two cookies, Anna.”
Much to the fan’s surprise, NTR replied with a humorous GIF featuring veteran comedian Brahmanandam. The witty response soon went viral, drawing praise from fans for the actor’s sense of humour and approachable personality.
The story, however, did not end there. Days later, the fan revealed on social media that a package of cookies had arrived at his home, accompanied by NTR’s autograph. Sharing pictures and expressing gratitude, he wrote that his children, Smaran and Stharaka, were thrilled by the unexpected gift.
“What started as a casual comment actually turned into the sweetest surprise. Today, the cookies reached home. The kids are happy, I am on cloud nine with the autograph, and we are all just smiling at how wholesome this is,” the fan posted.
The gesture has sparked widespread appreciation online, with many fans applauding NTR for taking the time to connect with admirers in such a personal and meaningful way. The incident also highlighted the actor’s well-known love for cooking, a skill he has previously said he learned from his mother. Over the years, videos of NTR preparing dishes, including chicken biryani, have frequently gone viral on social media.
On the professional front, NTR is currently working on his highly anticipated film Dragon, directed by Prashanth Neel. The recently released teaser has generated significant buzz, particularly due to the actor’s introduction as the “costliest villain,” fuelling speculation that he may be portraying a morally complex character in the big-budget action entertainer.
