In a recent turn of events, actor Chiranjeevi finds himself at the center of a social media storm, receiving harsh trolling after making comments about his legacy. The year 2026 appears to be quite favorable for the Mega family, as Chiranjeevi made a significant comeback with his film ‘Man Shankaravaraprasad,’ which turned out to be a massive hit after several years. Additionally, he became a grandfather once again at the end of January when Ram Charan and Upasana welcomed twins – a boy and a girl. This delightful news went viral just a few days ago.
However, as the celebrations continued, some users resurfaced Chiranjeevi’s past statements wherein he referred to the need for a male heir to carry forward the Mega legacy. This prompted a wave of trolling against him, with critics accusing him of disrespecting female children and women. In response to this offensive trolling, Mega daughter-in-law Lavanya Tripathi stepped in to defend Chiranjeevi and his family.
In her strong rebuttal, Lavanya expressed her disbelief at the cheap comments made by some social media users. She stated, “I usually ignore such tweets, but this time I felt the need to respond. It is a vile thought to twist a joyous moment into something toxic. Those criticizing do not understand the love and respect Chiranjeevi has for the women in his family, especially his grandchildren.” She emphasized that the values Chiranjeevi instills in his family are beyond the reach of many, and criticized those who lack the ability to achieve even a fraction of what he has done, yet feel entitled to comment on his character.
Lavanya’s tweet garnered significant attention, and shortly after her response, the user who initiated the trolling deleted their tweet. This incident highlights not only the challenges public figures face in the age of social media but also the importance of standing up against unjust criticism.
Chiranjeevi, who has been a prominent figure in the Indian film industry for decades, has often spoken about his hopes for the Mega legacy. In previous interactions, he mentioned his anticipation of a successor to carry forward the family name. However, the trolling he faced has sparked a broader conversation about the societal perception of gender and legacy within families.
As the Mega family embraces their new additions, it remains to be seen how the public discourse around Chiranjeevi’s comments will evolve. Nonetheless, the support from Lavanya and others in the Mega family underscores a commitment to both protect their loved ones and promote a more respectful dialogue regarding gender roles and family legacies.
