The Indian government held a banquet in Delhi to honor the Padma Vibhushan awardees, and Megastar Chiranjeevi and his family were in attendance. President Droupadi Murmuru presented Chiranjeevi with the award for his contributions to Indian cinema. The ceremony was organized by Amit Shah, the Union Home Minister, and Chiranjeevi's wife, son, daughter-in-law, and daughter were all present. Ram Charan, Chiranjeevi's son, congratulated his father on Instagram and shared photos and a video from the event. Upasana Konidela, Ram Charan's wife, made a playful comment on the post. Chiranjeevi was originally named as a Padma awardee for 2024 on January 25, but due to his inability to attend the ceremony, he was presented with the award at the special ceremony in Delhi's Rashtrapati Bhavan. M. Venkaiah Naidu, the former Vice President, also received the Padma Vibhushan this year.
