chiranjeevi charitable trust...

28 years of excellence in Telugu cinema has fetched Chiranjeevi a huge fan following and transformed him into one of the strongest opinion leaders in Andhra Pradesh. Chiranjeevi chose to streamline this fanaticism as a force for the social good thereby defying the tradition of super stars harboring political ambitions.

Chiranjeevi Charitable Trust (CCT) was started by megastar of Telugu cinema Chiranjeevi with the able guidance of Allu Arvind on 2nd October 1998. The two major wings of CCT are blood bank and eye bank. In a span of five years, CCT has collected 38,200 units of blood. 79% of these blood units (30,500) were given to poor and downtrodden for free of cost and remaining units were given to corporate hospitals at a nominal fee. CCT has collected 390 pairs of eyes and 780 blind people were benefited through cornea transplant at CCT. CCT also won the prestigious "Best Voluntary Blood Bank' award by State Government of AP for the years of 2002 and 2003.

To make sure that the CCT gets global reach, a website www.chiranjeevitrust.org is developed. This site was officially launched at a function organized at Jubilee Hall of Public Gardens today at 11:30 am.

While the state requires 5,00,000 units of blood per year, the awareness created by Chiranjeevi Blood Bank, pushed the availability to around 3,50,000 units which is a rare feat in itself.

Chiranjeevi Eye Bank has been behind 1460 successful eye implants. It also works towards educating the masses on the importance and need of eye donation.

An appeal for eye donation and blood donation is part of every print of a Chiranjeevi film. Chiranjeevi also ensured an unprecedented amount of space in the news and electronic media for these causes.

Today Chiranjeevi takes more pride in the knowledge that his Blood Bank saved someone's life than the fact that his film has gone for a Silver Jubilee.

Not limiting himself to the fantasy filled world of films, Chiranjeevi has involved himself in various public welfare activities and acted as a socially responsible citizen…this apart from his own Chiranjeevi Charitable Trust activities. Once convinced about the authenticity and motive of a campaign, Chiranjeevi has always associated with it.

In 2002, he was selected as the Ambassador of Andhra Pradesh to the International Labour Organization. He featured in short films as part of the 'International Programme on the Elimination of Child Labour'. He took an oath, on the occasion, that he would not advocate or allow directly or indirectly the employment of child labour in his films and stuck to it so far.

CHIRU and his family....

chiru...Throughout his career he has been through a lot of ups and downs but every time he came back with extra persevrance and won his way through people's hearts with wonderful performances in his films. Chiranjeevi got married to Surekha, the daughter of veteran actor sri "Allu Ramalingaiah". Chiru has always been a family man - being blessed with two daughters Sushmita & Srija and a son Ramcharan Tej.

And as Chiru becomes the most popular hero, he has lived a royal life, travelled widely from one country to another around the world almost every time in the delightful company of filmi celebreties who act, sing and dance with him. He acted in a lot of best movies to date and had been able to deliver splendid action-packed movies. With all these talents in him, it isn't a big surprise to know that he has been one of the highest paid movie actors in the Indian Film Industry. Be it actor, star or megastar - Chiranjeevi has been acknowledged as being one of the most successful actors in the history of the Telugu Motion Picture Industry. We, in our site, would like to highlight the remarkable work Chiranjeevi has shared with the movie-going-public for the last 20 years. ENJOY!

Chiranjeevi tied the wedding knot to Surekha, daughter of eminent yesteryear comedian Allu Ramalingayya, on 20th of February, 1980. The auspicious time was 11:50 AM. The couple is blessed with 2 daughters, Susmitha and Srija and a son, Ram Charan Teja.

chiru's teenage...

'MEGASTAR' chiranjeevi garu imagine even in the wildest of his dreams, that he would, one day, be a Megastar and rule the Telugu Film Industry. Years later, this youngster called "Chiru" in the Film Industry , with his hard work and dedication to his proffession, could make it really big in the field hitting the limelight, with an unparallel fan following emulating his every act, word, dress and dance. What makes this ordinary human being such an extraordinary one - god knows!

After graduation, Chiranjeevi moved to Madras to seek a career in his chosen field of acting in the Film Industry. To get himself ready for the stage, he joined in an acting school in Madras. After struggling for some time, he took to acting by appearing in small roles in films like "Pranam Kareedu" and "Punadhi Rallu". He, from that modest beginning to this date, has acted in 132 films. Throughout his career he has been through a lot of ups and downs but every time he came back with extra persevrance and won his way through people's hearts with wonderful performances in his films.

chiru's childhood...

Chiranjeevi, the Megastar of Tollywood today, was born on 22 Aug 1955 in "Mogaltur", a small village in 'West Godavari' District in Andhra Pradesh to sri Venkat Rao and Anjana Devi. He grew up in his native village with his grand parents, while his family was else where because of his father's occupation. The sense of descipline and hard work which he still embraces were introduced at a very young age in his life and the tough childhood he had being the eldest in his family have helped him to handle many such events of higher proportion with great expertise in the later stages of his life.
