Megastar Chiranjeevi, a name synonymous with excellence in Indian cinema, was recently honored with the prestigious Lifetime Achievement Award by Bridge India at the UK Parliament, acknowledging his remarkable contributions to the film industry and society over the past 45 years. The accolade is a testament to his unparalleled journey from humble beginnings to global superstardom.
In response to this honor, Chiranjeevi’s younger brother, actor-politician Pawan Kalyan, took to social media to express his immense pride and admiration. Pawan Kalyan shared a heartfelt post on ‘X’ (formerly Twitter), praising his brother’s incredible journey and achievements.
Pawan Kalyan began by reflecting on their modest roots, saying, “Starting his life as the son of a middle-class Excise Constable, he rose to become a Megastar purely through his hard work and the blessings of the art world.” He added, “For over four and a half decades, he has been entertaining fans globally and has become synonymous with exceptional acting. With his talent, he has earned 9 Filmfare Awards and 3 Nandi Awards as a top actor. I will always be proud to be born as his brother.”
Beyond his professional success, Pawan Kalyan spoke with deep affection about the personal bond they share. “I consider him not just as a brother but as a father figure. During moments of confusion when I didn’t know what to do with my life, he was the one who guided me,” Pawan Kalyan wrote, describing Chiranjeevi as a “true hero.” He also acknowledged his brother’s philanthropic efforts, particularly through the Chiranjeevi Charitable Trust, which provides blood and eye donations to those in need, reflecting Chiranjeevi’s commitment to giving back to society.
In his post, Pawan Kalyan further emphasized how Chiranjeevi’s success has helped uplift not only their family but countless others as well. “He has not only achieved success but has also contributed to the progress of his family and numerous others. Chiranjeevi stands as an example that talent can excel in any field,” he said. He also highlighted Chiranjeevi’s previous accolades, including the Padma Vibhushan, India’s second-highest civilian award.
Pawan Kalyan also expressed his joy over the honor received in the UK Parliament, stating, “The news of him receiving the Lifetime Achievement Award in the UK Parliament brought me immense joy. I extend my heartfelt congratulations to my brother and hope he continues to receive more accolades, serving as a guiding light for all of us.” He concluded by thanking Stockport MP Navendu Mishra for hosting the award ceremony.
This heartfelt tribute from Pawan Kalyan underscores not only the extraordinary career of Chiranjeevi but also the strong bond between the two brothers. Chiranjeevi’s exceptional journey, both on and off-screen, continues to inspire millions and his recent recognition at the UK Parliament further solidifies his place as one of the greatest figures in Indian cinema.
