Five years ago, in September 2021, a severe road accident in Hyderabad changed actor Sai Durgha Tej’s life forever. Today, he looks back with deep gratitude, as the long journey of physical and emotional recovery has changed the way he looks at life. In a moving message on Instagram, the Republic actor shared that he has now recovered 90 percent from his injuries.
‘It saved my life’
Expressing his gratitude, he wrote, “What I want you to know is this: your love never left my side. It gave me the strength to push through every difficult day.” Reflecting on his survival, he added, “And here I am. Five years later. Still standing. Still fighting. Still living.” The Supreme actor’s life-saving message is: “PLEASE WEAR A HELMET. That one small decision is the reason I’m here today.”
A quiet battle
His path back to health was far from easy. For many months after the crash, he struggled with impaired speech, fighting a quiet battle to regain his voice and confidence. It was something that was not spoken about during the hardest phase, including by his family members. The process demanded immense patience and resilience. He drew strength from his loved ones and well-wishers. “I was given a second chance at life, carried through by your prayers, love and unconditional support. I needed every single one of them,” he wrote.
Virupaksha, a comeback vehicle
Sai Durgha Tej’s comeback began with Virupaksha, a mystical thriller that marked his return to the big screen and won hearts. He is currently working on Sambarala Yeti Gattu, which is billed as his biggest film yet. The ambitious project is set to hit cinemas on January 12, 2027. The actor is known for commercial entertainers such as Prati Roju Pandage, Subramanyam for Sale, and Pilla Nuvvu Leni Jeevitham.
