Early Life
Y.V. Rao was born in Nellore in the then Madras Presidency of British India in 1903 in a prominent and wealthy Telugu Brahmin family. On completion of his education, Rao plunged into drama and did a few stage plays before moving to Kolhapur and Bombay to act in silent films. In the late 1920s, he moved to Madras. Impressed by Rao's handsome looks and agility, Prakash cast him as hero in many silent films like Garuda Garva Bhangam, Gajendra Moksham, and Rose of Rajasthan.

Famous quotes related to early life:
“... goodness is of a modest nature, easily discouraged, and when much elbowed in early life by unabashed vices, is apt to retire into extreme privacy, so that it is more easily believed in by those who construct a selfish old gentleman theoretically, than by those who form the narrower judgments based on his personal acquaintance.”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
