Megastar Chiranjeevi expressed his heartfelt sentiments in a recent post, commemorating the posthumous conferment of the Bharat Ratna on the late former Prime Minister of India, PV Narasimha Rao. Taking to his Twitter account on February 9, 2024, the renowned actor celebrated this significant moment as a proud Telugu-speaking individual.
In the tweet, accompanied by a picture of the esteemed former Prime Minister, Chiranjeevi lauded PV Narasimha Rao as a true visionary, scholar, polyglot, and great statesman. He highlighted Rao’s transformative impact on modern India through revolutionary economic reforms, crediting him for laying the foundation that positioned India as an economic powerhouse.
Chiranjeevi expressed immense joy on behalf of all Indians, particularly Telugus, for the belated but deserving honor bestowed upon PV Narasimha Rao with the prestigious Bharat Ratna. The actor acknowledged the former Prime Minister’s crucial role in shaping the nation’s destiny and praised him as a source of pride for Telugus.
Sharing the post on Twitter, Chiranjeevi conveyed his excitement and emphasized the long-overdue recognition for PV Narasimha Rao. The late Prime Minister, hailing from a non-Hindi speaking region (Telugu), holds the distinction of being the first from South India to receive the Bharat Ratna.

He was honored with the Padma Vibhushan on January 26, 2024, recognizing his illustrious contributions to the film industry.
