Chiranjeevi, who is mocked for his "obsession with male heir," wants Ram Charan to have a son after Klin Kaara as a legacy.

Chiranjeevi's recent comments regarding his desire for a grandson and his fear of Ram Charan having another daughter after Klin Kaara have gone viral online.

Being a celebrity comes with a lot of responsibility, therefore it's not always simple. Millions of people are following you around the clock, admiring you. It's crucial to exercise caution since one incorrect statement—or even a correct one taken out of context—could damage your reputation for the rest of your professional life. These days, public relations managers for celebrities in our nation steer clear of such situations. Occasionally, however, we encounter a contentious statement that goes viral on the internet. Chiranjeevi (69) is the celebrity who is now causing a stir on social media.

The Telugu actor, who is referred to by his admirers as a "mega star," made news on Tuesday when he was the main guest at a pre-release event for Brahmanandam's Brahma Anandams. Living with four grandkids makes Chiranjeevi feel like a women' hostel warden, he said during his presentation. In order to carry on their family's tradition, Chiranjeevi also expressed his wish that his actor son Ram Charan (39), who was fortunate to have a girl named Klin Kaara Konidela in 2023, would soon have a son. "I keep hoping and telling (Ram) Charan, at least this time, have a boy so that our legacy continues," the megastar said, adding that his daughter is the object of his affection.

Chiranjeevi continued, "I'm afraid he'll have a girl again." Back in 2012, Ram Charan married Upasana Kamineni, the vice-chairman of Apollo Charity. Eleven years later, their adorable daughter Klin Kaara was born. Chiranjeevi is the grandpa of Samara, the daughter of Sushmita Konidela, and Nivrati and Naviskha, the daughters of Sreeja Konidela, in addition to Klin Kaara. Chiranjeevi is being viciously ridiculed on social media for his "sexist" comments. According to a mother and internet user, "Chiranjeevi is afraid his son Ram Charan might have another daughter 😡." The desire for a male heir is still prevalent in 2025. disappointing,Not surprisingly, though. PS: I have a girl, and I've heard from hundreds of people that I should have a boy next. Another tweet said, "What's the point of calling @KChiruTweets a Megastar or honoring him with Padma awards when his mindset is stuck in outdated gender biases? It feels horrible when people want us to control things I can't." Gender does not define legacy; rather, ideals and deeds do. #Chiranjeevi #RedefiningLegacy.

But several supporters also came out in favor of Chiranjeevi. "You are simply misinterpreting and misconstruing what he actually meant!" tweeted one such supporter. Chiranjeevi's two daughters are both parents to girls.Ram Charan also has a daughter; there is nothing wrong with his wanting a grandchild! Do you now oppose male children?

"I hate Chiranjeevi so much, but I don't find anything sexist or misogyny here," said another internet user who isn't a fan. Although he only has granddaughters, what would be wrong if he could hope for a grandson?

Regarding his career, Ram last appeared with Kiara Advani in Game Changer.
