South superstar Vijay Deverakonda, who garnered headlines after he auctioned his first Filmfare award for best actor for Rs 25 lakh, has now revealed why he did so. The actor, who made his acting debut in 2016 with ‘Pelli Choopulu’, won the award for his performance in Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s ‘Arjun Reddy’ which was his second film. 

Speaking to Galatta Plus, Vijay was asked if he has a special shelf for awards he has won over the years, to which the actor replied, “Some might be at the office, some my mom must’ve kept at home. I don’t know which are mine, which are Anand’s. Some I give away, I gave one of them to Sandeep (Reddy Vanga). We auctioned my first Best Actor award I got from Filmfare. It got a good chunk of money, that’s a nicer memory for me than a piece of stone in my house.”
