Acting happened to me. I didn’t ask for it. After Indian Idol ended, I got offers to act. I heard about nine scripts.

I heard a few scripts but was too busy singing to think about anything. I didn’t want to put my music career on hold for acting because I was just starting to get good singing offers. So, I took some time and thought about it. “

dispute
In 2018, South Indian actress Sri Reddy accused him of sending her indecent messages on WhatsApp. She even posted a screenshot of her chat with Sreerama on her social media account and captioned it:
Because of these few male dominated replies, few question my sincerity.. I don’t know what kind of society I am in.. So never ask me to withhold my evidence here.. People force me to withhold evidence ..they are both big shot spoons and the drama is well done…sad that I live in a male dominated society…still girls are not given independence. “
- Inappropriate behavior with stylist
In 2019, Sreerama’s manager Joshina asked Sreerama’s stylist Sugandha to design some good clothes for him. Sugandar replied:
Since Sreerama has a weak social media presence, it’s getting harder and harder for me to buy clothes for him, he really needs to step up his game. “
This reply did not go down well with the singer and he asked Joshina to fire Sugandar. He blocked her on WhatsApp and started abusing the stylist through Joshina’s phone. Later, when Sugandha was asked about the whole incident, she said:
Not just me, he talks like this to everyone. His manager Joshina is a good friend of mine and that’s why I agreed to style him despite his unprofessional behavior. But this time he went over the limit and insulted me, also because I showed him a mirror. I also spoke to his father and he apologized to me on his behalf, but I am in no mood to forgive him as he will continue to behave in a disgusting manner towards others. It is strange that his manager Joshina, who is a girl, supports this shocking behavior. He used sentences like “Do kaudi ki stylist”.

Facts/Trivia
- In an interview, he shared his experience of singing on stage for the first time. He said,
As many of my fans know, I come from a humble family with no musical background, but my grandfather encouraged me to sing with my sister and cousins. My first time on stage was when I was 8 years old. Surprisingly, I was more excited than nervous because my uncle, the late Mr. C. Venkatachalam believed in my voice. I sang “Teri Adaaon Pe Marta Hoon” from the movie “Gupt” with my dear cousin Sailu. That’s when my musical journey really started and music soon became my passion, my life… I used to spend a lot of time every day listening to Lataji, Rafi Sahab, Kishore da, Ghantasala Sir, SP Balasubramaniam etc. Music for people. “
He continued,
My passion for music outweighed my interest in learning, so I was sent to boarding school for two years without much exposure to music. During this time, the only song that filled my heart with passion was AR Rehman Sir’s version of “Vande Mataram”, which I had sung in the patriotic grounds of my boarding school. I returned home to study engineering but was even more eager to pursue music, even if it meant juggling college and music at the same time.
