When Tejaswi Madivada is Elderly Young

Actress Tejaswi Madivada recently shared a graceful photo on Instagram where she’s seen sitting peacefully with a soft smile holding a printed clutch and dressed in a simple saree. In the caption, she wrote, “Elderly young yours Teju!.

Tejaswi who appeared in the reality show Reality Ranis of the Jungle on Warner Bros Discovery+ opened up about how the show changed her as a person. “This is one of the most extreme things that I have done in my life,” she shared. Tejaswi recalled how, as a little girl, she dreamt of running away and living in the wild. “And recently I was in a phase in my life where I’d wonder if I could survive for the rest of my life in a jungle… I think it made me realise I can survive anywhere in the world.”

She pushed past tough challenges with grit. “I am actually not a fan of meat, so dealing with meat was my biggest fear,” she said. But on the very first day, she ate raw goat eyeballs and brain included. “It was empowering!” The show’s rough conditions lack of food, sleep, and rest tested her limits. “There was a time during the show where sleep deprivation had taken over and I started seeing the jungle move,” she admitted. Yet, she calls the experience life-changing. Tejaswi added, “Twelve years ago, I ran away from a very strict home. And now, I am exactly where I am supposed to be. I am living every Indian girl’s dream.”
