Chiranjeevi legacy comments controversy: Megastar Chiranjeevi has landed in controversy after his comments at the pre-release event of Brahma Anandam. His remarks about wanting a male grandchild to continue his legacy have sparked backlash on social media and led to debates on gender equality.
What Did Chiranjeevi Say?
During the event, Chiranjeevi jokingly stated that his home feels like a ladies’ hostel and expressed his wish for his son Ram Charan to have a boy. He remarked,
I hope Charan has a son so that my legacy continues. But I fear he might have another daughter.
His statement immediately went viral, with many criticizing it as sexist and outdated.
Shyamala Response over Chiranjeevi Comments on Legacy
Actress and YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) leader Shyamala strongly opposed Chiranjeevi’s remarks. She questioned why only a son should be considered an heir, emphasizing that daughters are equally capable of carrying forward a legacy.
She cited Upasana Konidela, Ram Charan’s wife, as an example of a successful woman managing her business and responsibilities efficiently.
Shyamala added,
Even in 2025, people still believe only sons should carry on a legacy. Women are excelling in all fields, and such comments are unacceptable.
She urged society to move past outdated gender norms.
Social Media Backlash
Chiranjeevi comments received heavy criticism online, with many netizens calling them regressive. Some argued that a child’s gender should not determine their ability to uphold family traditions. Others defended Chiranjeevi, stating that he meant no harm and was merely expressing a personal sentiment.
Political and Industry Impact
Shyamala also commented on Prudhvi Raj’s remarks at the Laila pre-release event. She criticized actors for making political statements at film functions, arguing that such remarks often harm the movie’s reception and impact producers negatively.
