In an earlier interview, speaking about her love for performing arts Tejasswi had told mid-day.com, "I always loved dancing and singing. My mum and dad were of the opinion that if one has a strong classical base, we can do anything! So that's why my parents enrolled me in classical dancing and singing classes. I learnt Bharatnatyam for seven years and gave four exams. I'm yet to complete my arangetram (first stage performance) but I will do that once I get a break from work. I plan to complete my three pending exams and have an arangetram function. I started learning dance at 5-6 years and would wear my salwar suit with dupatta and head to class. I still remember a few mudras. I had a sir, who was amazing but at times also scary if we didn't maintain the correct posture. Whenever I couldn't catch the beats, sir would fling his stick at me, bahut maar padi hai (laughs.) It was the most amazing time! My mum made it a point to ensure I was a busy child, along with dance I was also learning singing, swimming, gymnastics, karate, drawing and attending sanskar varg classes."
