Apart from Chiranjeevi, the actor and dancer Vyajayantimala Bali, and dancer Padma Subrahmanyam will also be conferred with Padma Vibhushan–the second-highest civilian honour in the country.
The recipients of this year’s Padma awards were announced on Thursday evening.
Expressing his excitement, Chiranjeevi said in a video, “After hearing this news, I became speechless. I’m really overwhelmed. I am humbled and grateful for this honour. It’s only the unconditional and invaluable love of the people, audiences, fans, my blood brothers and blood sisters that allowed me to reach here. I owe my life and this moment to you. I always try to express my gratitude in ways that I can, though I know I can never do enough.”
Chiranjeevi is among the most influential and successful actors and worked in Telugu, Hindi, Tamil and Kannada films. He is known for his movies such as Vijetha, Indra, Shankar Dada M.B.B.S., and most recently he was seen in Bholaa Shankar.
