Personal life[edit | edit source]

Kota Srinivasa Rao was born on 10 July 1943 in the village of Kankipadu in present-day Andhra Pradesh.[11] His father Seetha Rama Anjaneyulu was a doctor. Srinivasa initially aimed to become a doctor but eventually couldn't make it because of his love towards acting. He started his career on stage in drama plays during college. He has a Bachelor of Science degree and worked as a State Bank employee before entering the film industry.

He is married to Rukmini and has three children (2 daughters and a son). He lost his son Kota Venkata Anjaneya Prasad on 20 June 2010 in a road accident in Hyderabad.[12] Prasad acted in J. D. Chakravarthy's flick Siddham and alongside his father in Gaayam 2 (2010). His acting was critically acclaimed.

Srinivasa's younger brother Kota Sankara Rao is also an actor. He works in a nationalised bank and acts in soap operas.[13]
