Chiranjeevi recalls the tragedy of losing his sister, says "Amma and I carried the dead body in a rickshaw"

In a recent interview on the occasion of Women's Day, Megastar Chiranjeevi shared a lesser-known chapter from his life. Alongside his family, including his mother Anjanamma and siblings Naga Babu, Vijaya Durga, and Madhavi, Chiranjeevi reminisced about a tragic event.

During an interview with Mana Stars along with his family members, Chiranjeevi revealed that his mother, Anjanamma, had faced immense hardship, losing three children either due to miscarriage or at a very young age.

"There is one incident that always moves me to tears when I think about it. We are five children for Amma, but she lost three other children either due to miscarriage or at one year or two and a half years of age," he said.

Chiranjeevi revealed that his mother, Anjanamma, had faced immense hardship, losing three children either due to miscarriage or at a very young age. One of these children was a sister named Ramana, who was diagnosed with a brain tumor during Chiranjeevi's sixth standard year.

He told, "When I was in sixth standard, we had a sister named Ramana. At that time, my father used to go to camps often for work. Thus, Amma alone used to take care of us a lot. Ramana was diagnosed with a brain tumour and passed away in a government hospital. Amma and I carried the dead body in a rickshaw to our home."

He mentioned that his father didn't know about it. During that time they didn't know how to perform the final rites. It was their Muslim neighbors who came forward to assist them with the rituals. By the time Chiranjeevi's father returned, the family had already completed the final rites.

Despite these hardships, the Chiranjeevi family remains incredibly close-knit. Chiranjeevi fondly mentioned that his home is always lively when his mother visits, with his siblings frequently dropping by to spend time with her.

The 'Indra' actor also said, "Whenever Amma is at my home, everyone will come and talk to her, and the house will be lively every day. Even Naga Babu and my sisters visit my home almost every day and spend time with Amma."

On the work front, he will be next seen in mega socio-fantasy film 'Vishwambhara'.Get the latest lifestyle updates on Times of India, along with Women's Day wishes, messages and quotes !
