's wife,
Tejaswini
, recently spoke about their unexpected love story. Recounting the early days, Tejaswini admitted she had no clue about the film industry or Raju's actual profession when they met.
'I thought he was a director,' she laughed, only later discovering through a Google search that he was one of Telugu cinema's most prominent producers.
At the time, Tejaswini wasn't actively looking for a relationship. 'I had no interest in getting into one,' she shared in an interview with NTV Entertainment, adding that she also didn't know Dil Raju had lost his first wife. The weight of that knowledge made her even more hesitant.
'He had to convince my strict uncle first'
When Dil Raju expressed his interest in taking the relationship forward, Tejaswini told him he needed to win over her elder uncle. Known in the family for being particularly strict, his approval seemed like a tough ask. 'Surprisingly, he was the first to say yes,' she said with a smile.
Still, the road to marriage wasn't entirely smooth. Tejaswini faced resistance from several relatives who were skeptical of the match.

After Anitha's passing, I wanted to move on. I kept bumping into Tejaswini and finally took six months to ask for her phone number at the airport.'
