A recent video of actor Chiranjeevi at an airport has sparked controversy online, with viewers divided over his interaction with a fan. The video shows Chiranjeevi, accompanied by his wife Surekha and airport staff, arriving from a flight. When a fan approaches Chiranjeevi for a selfie, he is reportedly pushed aside by the actor.
The incident, shared widely on social media, has led to a flurry of reactions. Some fans have defended Chiranjeevi, arguing that he was simply following the directions of his ground staff and that the fan’s persistence was inappropriate. “Chiranjeevi’s rude behavior with fans at the airport,” read one comment, while another defended the actor by noting that he was just trying to manage his personal space after a long flight.

Critics, however, have taken issue with the way Chiranjeevi handled the situation. Some argue that regardless of the circumstances, it is not acceptable for a celebrity to push a fan out of the way. One user remarked, “Just because we like him doesn’t mean we should justify his actions.”
ముందు నడుస్తున్న ఫిమేల్ ఎయిర్లైన్స్ స్టాఫ్ ఫోటో అడిగిన వ్యక్తిని అడ్డు తప్పుకోమని సైగ చేసింది. లాంగ్ ఫ్లైట్ జర్నీ చేసి, కుటుంబంతో వెళ్తున్న వ్యక్తికి రెండు సార్లు అడ్డంగా నిలబడి విసిగించటం అసలు కరక్టేనా? సివిక్ సెన్స్ అనేది ఒకటి ఏడ్చి చచ్చింది కదా!!

This incident follows similar controversies involving other celebrities. Recently, Nagarjuna faced backlash when his bodyguard was filmed pushing a specially-abled fan. Nagarjuna later apologized and met the fan for a selfie. Actor Dhanush, who was present during the incident, faced criticism for not addressing the situation.
Chiranjeevi, who will soon appear in the film Vishwambhara alongside Trisha Krishnan, recently attended the 2024 Olympics opening ceremony in Paris. Despite the recent controversy, he continues to have a significant presence in the entertainment industry.
