In a recently held inauguration ceremony of a cancer centre in Hyderabad, South Indian superstar Chiranjeevi sought to clarify rumours that had been circulating regarding his health. He dispelled the news that he has been diagnosed with cancer, attributing it to a misunderstanding of his remarks about the importance of cancer awareness. Chiranjeevi emphasized that he was encouraging regular health checks as a preventative measure against the disease. He shared his personal experience of undertaking a colonoscopy test that led to the identification and removal of non-cancerous polyps. He stressed that early detection through this test prevented a potential cancerous development, not that he himself was diagnosed with cancer.
