Veteran actor Chiranjeevi marked his 69th birthday with a spiritual sojourn, visiting the revered Venkateswara Swamy Temple in Tirumala. Accompanied by his wife, Surekha Konidela, the legendary star sought blessings from Lord Balaji, embracing the occasion with traditional reverence.
Clad in an elegant off-white silk mundu and kurta, adorned with a kasavu-bordered shawl, Chiranjeevi epitomized grace as he navigated through the temple premises. His presence was warmly acknowledged by fellow devotees, who were thrilled to share the sacred space with the iconic actor.
Chiranjeevi, whose illustrious career spans across Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, and Kannada cinema, arrived in Tirumala a day before the celebrations. Accompanied by his family, including his mother, he was spotted in a casual avatar, wearing a t-shirt and jeans, as he received a heartfelt welcome at a local hotel.
The star’s visit to Tirumala was not just a birthday celebration but also a moment to reflect on his remarkable journey in Indian cinema. With a filmography boasting classics like ‘Vijetha,’ ‘Indra,’ ‘Shankar Dada M.B.B.S.,’ and the recent hit ‘Bholaa Shankar,’ Chiranjeevi has cemented his place as a beloved figure in the hearts of millions.
In May 2024, Chiranjeevi’s contributions to the arts were honored with the Padma Vibhushan, India’s second-highest civilian award. The award ceremony, held at Rashtrapati Bhavan, saw the actor being felicitated by President Droupadi Murmu, in the presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah.
As he continues to inspire through his cinematic legacy and personal values, Chiranjeevi’s 69th birthday at Tirumala stands as a testament to his enduring devotion and the love he continues to receive from fans and family alike.
