Megastar Chiranjeevi is facing criticism on social media for his behavior towards a fan at an airport. An undated video has surfaced online showing Chiranjeevi, accompanied by his wife Surekha, stepping out of an elevator at an airport. An airline employee, eager for a selfie with the star, approaches Chiranjeevi, who initially tries to ignore him. However, when the employee persists, Chiranjeevi pushes him away, sparking outrage among viewers. The video has gone viral on social media, with some users defending Chiranjeevi, attributing his actions to fatigue from a long flight. Others, however, are vocal in their condemnation of his rude behavior, emphasizing the importance of respect towards fans.
Chiranjeevi, a highly influential and successful actor with a career spanning Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, and Hindi films, is known for his popular roles in movies like ‘Vijetha’, ‘Indra’, and ‘Shankar Dada M.B.B.S.’. His recent appearance in ‘Bholaa Shankar’ further cemented his popularity. He entered the film industry in 1978 with the film ‘Punadhirallu’. Recently, Chiranjeevi and his family traveled to Paris for the opening ceremony of the 2024 Olympic Games. He shared a picture from Hyde Park, London, on X, showcasing a serene moment with his family, including his granddaughter Klin Kaara.
This incident comes in the wake of another similar controversy involving South Indian film star Nagarjuna. Nagarjuna’s bodyguard had pushed a specially-abled fan at an airport, prompting criticism and a subsequent apology from the actor, who claimed he was unaware of the incident.
