Mega Family's Women's Day Celebration: A Special Interview

On March 8, International Women's Day is being celebrated worldwide. To mark the occasion, Megastar Chiranjeevi and his family created a special video featuring the women of their household. In this exclusive interview titled Mega Women, Chiranjeevi, along with his brother Nagababu, their mother Anjana Devi, and their sisters Madhavi and Vijaya, shared personal stories and reflections.

During the conversation, Chiranjeevi recalled an incident from his childhood. He revealed that he was the eldest among the children in his family. "I must have been around three years old at the time. I crawled out of the house and ended up on the street. Not knowing where to go, I started crying on the road. There was a blacksmith’s shop nearby, and a worker there noticed me and took me to their place. He informed my family that I was there. By the time my mother arrived, I was covered in soot and unrecognizable. She initially thought I was someone else’s child and was about to leave. But for some reason, she stopped, examined me carefully, and realized I was her son. She brought me back home and, to prevent me from wandering off again, tied a rope around my leg," he recounted. Drawing a humorous parallel, Chiranjeevi added, "Even Lord Krishna was tied up like that as a child. Maybe all great people have a habit of wandering off like this."

During the interview, Chiranjeevi shared an emotional and lesser-known aspect of his family history. He revealed that while five of them are alive today, three of his siblings had passed away in childhood. He particularly recalled the loss of his sister Rama when he was in sixth grade. "Rama was unwell, and we took her to the hospital, but after two days, she passed away. We carried her body home in our arms, and with the help of our neighbors, we completed the final rites," he said. Chiranjeevi also mentioned that his father was away due to work at the time, and they had to manage everything in his absence. He expressed how deeply his father grieved upon returning home.

On the occasion of International Women’s Day, Chiranjeevi’s mother, Anjana Devi, shared her thoughts and advice for the younger generation. She emphasized the importance of family unity and encouraged everyone to stay connected. "It is essential for family members—parents, siblings, and relatives—to support and care for each other. Unfortunately, in today's times, love and warmth between people seem to be diminishing," she observed. However, speaking about her own family, she expressed happiness about her strong bond not only with her sons and daughters but also with her daughters-in-law. She affectionately remarked that Chiranjeevi’s wife, Surekha, is like a daughter to her.

Nagababu also shared some personal insights about their family dynamics. He revealed that among all the siblings, their mother had a special fondness for Pawan Kalyan. "Pawan was physically weak as a child, and his health was fragile. Because of that, our mother always paid extra attention to him. She would cook his favorite dishes and take special care of him," he said. Nagababu described Pawan Kalyan as a "special kid" in their household.
