when asked about his grandchildren, Chiranjeevi jokingly remarked that his home feels like a “ladies’ hostel,”: Megastar Chiranjeevi has drawn criticism over his recent remarks about wanting a grandson to continue the family legacy. When asked about his grandchildren during a public event, Chiranjeevi jokingly remarked that his home feels like a “ladies’ hostel,” where he is the “warden,” surrounded by girls and only one boy. He revealed that he had asked his son, actor Ram Charan, to have a son to carry forward their family’s legacy. It is worth noting that Ram Charan and his wife, Upasana, already have a daughter.
While many of Chiranjeevi’s fans supported his wish for a “mega heir,” some social media users criticized his remarks as outdated and patriarchal. One user, @Nash5633, wrote: “Calling your home a girls’ hostel and fearing that your son might have a daughter again speaks volumes about how cheap your character is.”
The remark has sparked a debate online, with some defending Chiranjeevi’s words as a lighthearted comment, while others argue that such statements reinforce gender biases.
