Megastar Chiranjeevi's Padma Vibhushan celebrations at his farmhouse saw a star-studded guest list including celebrities from the film industry like Nagarjuna, Venkatesh, and director Shankar Shanmugam, as well as political figures such as Telangana CM Revanth Reddy and Kavitha Kalvakuntla. Upasana Charan and the Mega family hosted the grand party to honor Chiranjeevi's achievement, with the event marking a significant celebration for the Telugu film industry.
After Chiranjeevi received the Padma Vibhushan, Nandamuri Balakrishna and Manchu Mohan Babu did not publicly wish him, with Balakrishna choosing to remain silent on social media and through press releases, possibly due to personal reasons. This comes in contrast to other contemporary stars who extended their congratulations, and Balakrishna's decision also extended to not congratulating M Venkaiah Naidu, India's former vice president, on receiving the same honor to avoid acknowledging Chiranjeevi.
Filmmaker S S Rajamouli and actor NTR Jr congratulate Chiranjeevi on being conferred with the Padma Vibhushan, India's second-highest civilian honour, highlighting how his journey from humble beginnings to this prestigious recognition inspires generations. Chiranjeevi, who also received the Padma Bhushan in 2006, is recognized for his contributions to Indian cinema.
Andhra Pradesh CM Y. S. Jagan Mohan Reddy congratulates former Vice President Venkaiah Naidu, film star Chiranjeevi, and others from the state for being nominated for Padma Vibhushan and Padma Shri awards in their respective fields of Public Affairs and Arts, expressing pride in their achievements.
Former Vice President M. Venkaiah Naidu, actor Chiranjeevi, and others were honored with the Padma Vibhushan award for 2024, alongside recipients of the Padma Bhushan and Padma Shri awards. The list includes notable figures from various fields, with a total of 132 Padma Awards approved for the year. These awards, among the highest civilian honors in India, recognize exceptional and distinguished service in diverse disciplines and are conferred by the President of India at ceremonial functions.
