Chiranjeevi with doctor
Megastar Chiranjeevi recently shared a health update with his fans who were concerned after he was spotted with an arm sling a few days ago. The actor took to social media to end speculations and reveal that he underwent a minor shoulder keyhole surgery.
Chiranjeevi shared a picture in which his left arm was wrapped in a sling, as he stood beside and shook hands with the doctor who treated him. In the caption, he wrote, "Several well-wishers have enquired about my health after noticing the arm sling. It was just a minor shoulder keyhole surgery. I am recovering well and already getting back to my routine."
Expressing gratitude, he further added, "My heartfelt thanks to Dr. Nithin, one of the finest arthroscopy surgeons, for his care and expertise in making the procedure smooth and comfortable. Grateful for all your love, concern and blessings."
Chiranjeevi recently became a grandfather once again after Ram Charan and Upasana Konidela welcomed their twins. Upasana gave birth to a boy and a girl on January 31. Later, Chiranjeevi took to social media to share the first glimpse of the new members of their family and revealed their names. He introduced them as Shiva Ram Konidela and Anveera Devi Konidela. He also sought everyone's blessings as his grandchildren begin their journey of life.
He wrote, "With boundless joy and divine grace⦠We are delighted to announce the beautiful names of our two little blessings⦠Shiva Ram Konidela and Anveera Devi Konidela," he wrote.
The picture had a glimpse of the second-time parents posing with their newborns, along with their elder daughter Klin Kaara Konidela on her Ram Charan's lap.
Sharing the meanings of the names, Chiranjeevi continued, "Shiva Ram is a profound confluence of two eternal ideals. âShiva' is inspired by Shiva Shankara Vara Prasad, reflecting inner strength, spiritual depth and stillness. âRam' from Ram Charan embodies righteousness, compassion and moral courage. Together, the name signifies the harmony between inner power and responsible action."
"Anveera Devi is a rare and powerful expression of the Divine Feminine. Anveera represents fearlessness, resilience and divine protection, inspired by the blessings of Kanaka Durga Devi. A name that reflects grace, courage and unwavering strength. We seek your blessings for Shiva Ram and Anveera Devi as they begin their beautiful journey of life. With love and gratitude," he added.
