Chiranjeevi faces backlash for desiring ‘grandson’ to continue his legacy
Chiranjeevi, a prominent South Indian actor, sparked controversy during a recent event. He expressed his desire for his son, Ram Charan, to have a son, stating that he wants a male heir to carry on his legacy. This comment was met with mixed reactions on social media, with some criticizing his gender preference and others defending his wish. The controversy highlights the persistent societal expectation of male heirs, even in modern times. Despite having two daughters and four granddaughters, Chiranjeevi still feels the need for a male heir. This reflects the deeply ingrained traditional values of inheritance and lineage in many cultures. Chiranjeevi also addressed speculation about his return to politics. He stated that he has no intention of returning to politics and his recent meetings with political leaders were not politically motivated. His brother, Pawan Kalyan, is currently fulfilling their political aspirations as Andhra Pradesh’s Deputy Chief Minister.11:59 AM Feb 12, 2025 IST
