Chiranjeevi, a Telugu actor, has disappointed his followers with recent remarks. The actor talked about not having a grandson who could continue his legacy while attending the Brahma Anandam pre-release event.
He said, “When I’m at home, it doesn’t feel like I’m surrounded by my granddaughters; it feels like I’m a ladies’ hostel warden, surrounded by ladies all around. I keep wishing and telling (Ram) Charan, at least this time, have a boy so that our legacy continues, but his daughter is the apple of his eye… I’m scared that he might again have a girl.” Chiranjeevi is the father of RRR star Ram Charan, who had daughter Klin Kaara with wife Upasana Konidela in 2023.
As expected, reactions to his comment were not positive. “Very sad use of words by chiranjeevi garu here. Ammayi ayithe bhayam enduku. (If she’s a girl, why fear?).. they carry the legacy forward the same as boys do or even better. Ilanti matalu public ga anadam sents a wrong message & takes us backwards. Aa matalu ki andaru navvadam (Everyone laughing at those words) shows our degenerated thinking!”
“Past few Days Chiranjeevi is going south of his image !! Including vulgarity words on stage -Commenting on Girl childs as not heir – Telling about illegal affairs -he was not seen as suuport his Brother fighter Pawan Kalyan Garu at times needs but Claims Janasena as his own Now,” read a tweet.
“Dear Chiranjeevi garu, I have respect for you as an actor. However, I would appreciate some clarification on your recent statement. It came across as misogynistic and seemed to imply that a legacy can only be carried forward by a male child or men. Did you truly mean to suggest this? Are you uncomfortable with the possibility of your son and daughter-in-law having another girl child? Or was it “remark” made in “jest” at Brahmanandam’s film event,” asked another.
“Chiranjeevi is scared his son Ram Charan might have another daughter 
In 2025, the obsession with a male heir continues. Disappointing, but not surprising – PS – I have a girl and I have heard from 100s of people to give birth to a boy next. It feels horrible when people want us to control things I can’t,” said another.
Chiranjeevi was the one who announced Klin Kaara’s birth in 2023. He wrote in a tweet, “And the baby’s name is ‘Klin Kaara Konidela. Taken from the Lalitha Sahasranamam .. the name ‘Klin Kaara’ .. signifies a transformative purifying energy that brings about a spiritual awakening! All of us are sure the little one, the Little Princess will imbibe these qualities into her personality .. as she grows up..”
In 2023, Chiranjeevi last appeared in Waltair Veerayya and Bhola Shankar, the former of which was a success and the latter of which was a failure. He will shortly play the lead in Vassishta’s film Vishwambhara. The movie was delayed from its original Sankranthi release date. Additionally, he will feature in a Srikanth Odela-directed movie. Ram’s most recent film, Game Changer, was released during Sankranthi but didn’t do well. He will soon appear in movies directed by Sukumar and Buchi Babu Sana.
