NTR Child Marriage and Pingali Dasharadha ramayya

So, I was watching Rangam movie starring Jeeva, and there's this scene of Kota Sreenivas Rao marrying a child to become CM. I went through the comments section, and it says the scene was based on Sr. NTR's real-life scenario. You might have heard of the magazine Encounter and its editor Pingali Darasatharam. I read that NTR was a huge superstitious person and he was washing sarees at night, doing shava poojas and many tantrika poojas. I also heard he had a child marriage for a good political career(to become PM after Nadendla drama). The child he allegedly married was Kanaka, daughter of actress Devika and granddaughter of Raghupati Venkaiah Naidu, Telugu cinema pioneer. Come to think of it, Encounter magazine, which had one lakh circulations until the death of dasaratharam in 1985 was one of the daring experiments in Indian journalism and introduced investigative journalism in India. He was brutally murdered but it is still unknown who killed him though people know that then TDP govt. did that as Encounter published a story about Home Minister VNR and his daughter eloping with some lower caste guy and he had him killed for ruining his name. The man indeed is an unforgettable name in Indian journalism circles. If anyone knows about this, kindly share your stories. Thanks.
