Chiranjeevi, the megastar of Telugu cinema, has found himself at the center of a controversy following remarks he made at the pre-release event of Brahma Anandam. While discussing his family life, Chiranjeevi expressed his desire for a grandson to continue his family’s legacy. His comments, including likening his home to a "ladies' hostel" and expressing fear of having another granddaughter, quickly garnered negative attention online, as many took issue with the underlying sexist implications of his words.
 

Chiranjeevi's comments, including his wish for his son Ram Charan to have a male heir, were criticized as reinforcing outdated gender stereotypes. The actor's remarks about being "surrounded by women" and his expressed concern that his son might have another daughter were met with backlash on social media. Critics noted that, as a public figure with significant influence, Chiranjeevi should be advocating for equality rather than perpetuating such biases.
 

His comments have sparked a larger discussion on the importance of breaking free from patriarchal mindsets and recognizing that both male and female heirs can carry on legacies equally. Many users pointed out that Chiranjeevi's granddaughters could also contribute to his legacy, citing successful examples of women in prominent family businesses.
