Veteran Indian actor Chiranjeevi, who predominantly stars in Telugu-language films in India, was conferred the prestigious Padma Vibhushan Award for his contribution to Indian cinema by the Government of India on the eve of the 75th Republic Day.

Expressing his gratitude for receiving the honour, the actor wrote on X, “After hearing this news, I became speechless.”


And to mark the special honour, two of his devoted fans paid a special tribute to the megastar at Times Square in New York, US.

Kundavarapu Srinivas Naidu and Timmy Cheedala expressed their admiration for the superstar by displaying his photograph at Times Square.

The video of the same has been doing the rounds of social media and has gone viral since then.

In the video shared by fans, Chiranjeevi’s picture can be seen displayed prominently at Times Square. The actor is seen dressed in a white traditional attire in the picture.

Also displayed on the billboard is the message, “Congratulations Megastar Chiranjeevi Garu for achieving India’s most prestigious and highest civilian award - Padma Vibhushan.”

Jr NTR, Mammootty, Mahesh Babu, and other celebrities also congratulated the superstar on the honour.

Meanwhile, on the work front, Chiranjeevi is gearing up to start filming for director Vasshista Mallidi’s next directorial venture Vishwambhara. Bankrolled by UV Creations, the socio-fantasy film is due in cinemas on Sankranthi 2025.

Kajol caught in a storm of criticism for saying actors endure more stress than office workers

Highlights:

  • The actress defended her claim that acting demands more than desk jobs in a recent interview.
  • She said office workers can "chill out" during work hours, unlike film stars.
  • Fans and working professionals called her comments privileged and out of touch.
  • The backlash started after her appearance on Amazon Prime's Two Much with Kajol & Twinkle.
  • Critics pointed out the financial gap and support systems actors have compared to regular employees.

Kajol probably didn't expect this reaction when she sat down with Twinkle Khanna on Two Much. But her comments about actors working harder than people with 9-to-5 jobs have blown up, and not in a good way.
