K Chandrasekhar Rao is a good friend and a great host. There is no second thinking about this. Whoever reaches his official residence Pragathi Bhavan is treated with the same dishes that he takes on a daily basis. I had the privilege of having puligora (lime rice) with him at his house. He will request to have some food if you reach him in the morning during breakfast time.
People used to talk about NTR when it comes to food and hospitality. KCR is no less than NTR when it comes to treatment and hospitality. The way he spends time with his grandchildren also shoes that there is a great friend in KCR. Sometimes he enjoys movies with grandchildren at the home Theatre. Baahubali is one of the movie that was viewed at his home theatre.
KCR respect or elders was very evident when he touches the feet of President and his gurus also. He touches the feet of Governor and takes his blessings apart from his advice on a regular basis. At the same time the other side you can see him kissing his grandchildren and encouraging them to have that and this.
KCR is able to call his friends by name and talk to them and also help them in a discreet fashion. In the same tone, he asks them Baagunnav Raa. Now he is planning Vanabhojanalu for the MLAs. Given an opportunity, he wants to feed friends and people with good things. That is the reason he chose to give fine rice to the hostel students.
Earlier times he used to have drink and smoke with his friends, now as the CM he stopped all that. Occasionally he smokes and that is also very rare.
But the friend in him and the humour is always live.
