He started his professional life by working with an Australian firm. But his childhood dream to don the greasepaint came true with the opportunity of a role in the Telugu TV show Agnisakshi in 2017. Rao runs a production house along with his mother, by the name Aurum Motion Pictures. An early riser and a fitness freak, despite his tight shooting schedules of nearly 12 – 13 hours, Rao never misses his fitness regimen.

Sai Ketan Rao says his mother Sanngittha is a huge inspiration for him. "As a kid my heart was in acting and emulate my idols on silver screen. But to fulfill my mother's wish, completed formal education by pursuing Engineering and MBA, prior to turning towards my passion," he concludes.
