Host Nagarjuna Akkineni turned 60 on August 29. The actor-producer-TV host celebrated his special day with his family in Spain. On the occasion, the versatile actor treated himself with a new tattoo too.

The actor, who defies age, left no stone unturned to make it a special one. He has ensured that the tattoo reflect his ideology.

The tattoo on his left arm has letter ‘N’ at the apex which stands for his name (Nagarjuna). A compass denoting earth’s true north is adeptly carved around it. The eye at centre of the compass contains an eye which metaphorically stands for his yen for knowledge, innovation and excellence. The design is incomplete without a snake tail at the bottom. It resonates with his motto of shedding baggage just like a snake’s ecdysis.

Besides, Nag also has the Bigg Boss eye inked on the dorsal side of his left palm and an ‘Om’ carved in the middle of a sun on his right shoulder as well.

Ali Reza of Maate Mantramu fame, who recently got evicted from Bigg Boss Telugu 3, joins the club of actors who got inked. And yet again, he did not shy away from displaying how much he loves his wife Masuma. He gets a charming tattoo of her name on the lateral sides of his arm.

"In me and NOW on me for ever. #inkedmylove (sic)," writes Ali Reza sharing the pictures on his Instagram handle. And fans couldn't resist falling in love with his tattoo and him all over again.
