Hyderabad: Megastar Chiranjeevi’s 53rd birthday was a relatively low-key affair with fans appearing to heed his call that they need not come all the way to Hyderabad just to wish him on Friday.
The new party office on Road No. 46, Jubilee Hills, that was a beehive of activity the past two weeks with people from all over the State thronging the place for a glimpse of their star, wore a deserted look.
Elsewhere in the State, however, fans organised a range of activities like blood donation camps, distribution of fruits in hospitals and notebooks and textbooks to students besides programmes aimed at ensuring cleanliness in their surroundings.
A difference from birthday celebrations of the previous years was the political overtones seen at every birthday-related function. Slogans hailing his entry into politics and projecting him to be the next Chief Minister were heard everywhere.
A few hundreds of cakes were cut. Among these was one that was cut by the actor’s uncle J. Srinivasa Rao at the launch of his new website www.punadirallu.org. This site was exclusively touted as an entry point for anyone to be associated with Mr. Chiranjeevi in his new ‘avatar’.
At ‘Annamayyapuram’ in Madhapur, a special ‘homam’ was conducted, attended by Chiranjeevi’s wife Surekha and brother-in-law Dr. Venkateswara Rao, apart from Swamy Naidu, a key aide and several others.
It is learnt that special pujas were conducted at residences of the actor’s close relatives. Meanwhile, Mr. Chiranjeevi has decided not to make public appearance till the meeting at Tirupati on August 26 prior to which he will have darshan of Lord Venkateswara at Tirumala.
