South actor Chiranjeevi has been conferred with the prestigious Padma Vibhushan award this year, marking a milestone in his career. In a video message shared on his social media platforms, the actor expressed gratitude to the government, his devoted fans, and well-wishers for their support and love throughout his journey.
In the video, Chiranjeevi expressed his emotions, stating, “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 in 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.”
He further added, “I have done so little yet you have given me such a 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.”
