Maanasa herself shared a heartfelt note with the frame: “ee jenma repeat cheysey avakaasam vosthey, nenu Andhra university lo college cheystha. The aesthetics and the vibe inside .” The location’s old-world architecture and serene vibe clearly resonated with her, adding an authentic layer of personal connection to the visuals.
