It is a common practice whenever a top celeb is dead his well wishers demand the governments to announce top awards for him. They initiate such demands out of emotional connect. However, there is a dire need governments respect the living legends, who help lakhs of people extensively, with the highest awards.
Megastar Chiranjeevi is one such living legend who deserves any highest award both at national and international level. Then, what are his qualifications to receive such honours? Checkout following pointwise qualifications of Chiranjeevi.
* Chiranjeevi has been entertaining crores of people as a number one hero for the past 3.7 decades. He took the film industry to the next level with his high octane energy and speed. Besides, all the successful heroes of his family are indirectly helping half of the film industry workers providing them jobs. And then, this credit must also be given to Chiranjeevi.
* Apart from being a number one hero, Chiranjeevi attained number one status as a philanthropist. Did you know? As of now, Chiranjeevi blood bank donated blood to 9.27 lakh patients. Every single paisa for the maintenance of the CCT is being paid by Chiranjeevi, himself, from his earnings. Of course, Lions Club, Rotary Club and the blood banks of some cine heroes and political parties might have been helping the needy effectively. But then, all of them are maintaining those blood banks with the collective efforts of a group of people or with NRI funds.
* It's learnt that Chiranjeevi has decided to help the poor COVID patients donating plasma to free of cost through his CCT. Undoubtedly, this is yet another mind-boggling generous gesture from Megastar.
* It must be remembered that other living legends from the film industry like Big B Amitabh Bachchan and Rajinikanth are not doing charitable works that extensively as Chiranjeevi is doing. Yet, both of them received Padma Vibhushan while Chiranjeevi was honoured with just Padma Bhushan. According to a statistical study, Chiranjeevi not only deserves the nation's highest civilian award Bharat Ratna, but also international best awards like Raman Magsaysay. Chiranjeevi's family heroes have great responsibility to make Chiranjeevi's services known to top award agencies at international level.
* Chiranjeevi's political party PRP might have been a failure. But then, as a political leader (union tourism minister) he brought revolutionary changes in the tourism sector and one can read them out in the list doing rounds on the net.
BOTTOM-LINE: All in all, the union government needs to respect Chiranjeevi with the highest awards and should recommend his name for international awards.
