Photo Moment: From one Padma Vibhushan awardee to another; Chiranjeevi congratulates Venkaiah Naidu

This memorable photograph is definitely one for the ages. Both the Padma Vibhushan award winners, former Vice President of India M Venkaiah Naidu and Tollywood actor Megastar Chiranjeevi, are captured in this photo moment during their heartwarming rendezvous on the evening of the Republic Day.

Chiranjeevi called on Venkaiah Naidu and congratulated him on being conferred with India’s second highest civilian award, Padma Vibhushan. A sweet coincidence is that Chiru has also been honored with the Padma Vibhushan by the government of India.

Taking to X after his meeting with Venkaiah Naidu, Chiranjeevi tweeted, “Shared some delightful and very special moments with

Shri.@MVenkaiahNaidu garu! Being a fellow recipient of the prestigious honour makes the mutually congratulatory meeting extra joyous and memorable (sic).”

In another tweet, Chiru thanked all his fans, well-wishers, friends, family members, colleagues from the film Industry, elders, members from the political fraternity, and the media for their congratulatory messages. “Touched by all your love and affection,” Chiru tweeted.
