Superstar Chiranjeevi’s statement about wanting a grandson sparked unexpected controversy. Many on the internet pointed out Chiranjeevi and underlying sexist implications of his remarks and his apparent preference for a male heir to continue his family lineage.
Chiranjeevi’s statement
Chiranjeevi was the Chief Guest at the pre-release event of ‘Brahma Anandam’ where he said, “When I’m at home, it doesn’t feel like I’m surrounded by my granddaughters; it feels like I’m a ladies’ hostel warden, surrounded by ladies all around. I keep wishing and telling Ram Charan, at least this time, to have a boy so that our legacy continues, but his daughter is the apple of his eye. I’m scared that he might have a girl again.”
