On His 70th Birthday, Chiranjeevi Pens Emotional Tribute to Brother Pawan Kalyan

As fans across the globe celebrate Megastar Chiranjeevi’s 70th birthday, the actor-politician took a break from the spotlight to share something deeply personal—a heartfelt thank-you note to his younger brother, Pawan Kalyan. In a touching social media post, Chiranjeevi dropped two nostalgic black-and-white throwback photos from the 1980s, alongside a powerful message that’s now striking an emotional chord with fans everywhere.

Here’s what the legend wrote in full: "Victory to the People's Army Chief! Brother Kalyan...I have received your birthday wishes sent with love. Every word.. every letter touched my heart. How proud you are of me as an elder brother.. As a younger brother, I enjoy your victories and your struggle so much. I am proud of your initiative and perseverance every moment. The desire to do something for those who believe in you always gives you new strength. Today, crores of people's soldiers are behind you. Lead that army like a king. Give new strength to their hopes and dreams. May you continue to receive the blessings and love of your fans in abundance. As an elder brother, my blessings are always with you. I pray to God to grant you success in every step you take. @APDeputyCMO @PawanKalyan Like this Your elder brother"

This emotional message comes just months after Pawan Kalyan’s historic political win in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, where he emerged victorious from Pithapuram and assumed office as Deputy Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh. Chiranjeevi’s words go beyond birthday gratitude—they reflect admiration for Pawan’s transition from movie icon to powerful political leader and "Jana Sainyadhyakshudu" (People’s Army Leader).

The post beautifully blends personal affection with political respect. Chiranjeevi, once a political figure himself, knows the weight of leadership—and he honors Pawan’s rise with the proud encouragement only a big brother can offer. The throwback images—candid moments from their youth—add a nostalgic depth, reminding fans of the strong familial bond that has always existed behind the stardom and public personas.

As celebrations continue, this birthday post stands out not just for its emotional resonance, but for how it captures the heart of two Telugu titans—bound by blood, legacy, and an undying love for their people.
