Chiranjeevi was conferred with Padma Vibhushan

Chiranjeevi has acted in more than 160 films in 4 languages

I would like to thank the Government of India: Chiranjeevi

Tollywood Superstar Chiranjeevi was conferred with the Padma Vibhushan award ahead of Republic Day. He had earlier also received the Padma Bhushan award in 2006. He has acted in more than 160 films in 4 languages in an acting career that began in 1978. Former Vice President Venkaiah Naidu was also a recipient of the Padma Vibushan this year. 

Chiranjeevi released a video on social platform expressing his gratitude on this occasion. “After hearing this news, I became speechless. I am really overwhelmed. I am humbled and grateful for this honour. It’s only the unconditional and invaluable love of the people, audience, my fans, my blood-brothers and blood-sisters that allow me to reach here. I owe my life and this moment to you. I always try to express my gratitude the way I can though I know I can never do enough. On screen, the last 45 years of my film career, I have tried to entertain you to the best of my abilities.  And off-screen, I try to help the needy by taking up relevant and social humanitarian causes from time to time. I have done so little yet you have given me such great recognition and honour. I always remain indebted to you for your love and support. On this occasion, I would like to thank the Government of India and the honourable Prime Minister Narendra Modiji for bestowing on me this coveted Padma Vibhushan. Thank you one and all. Jai Hind,” Chiranjeevi said.
