YS Jagan Skips Birthday Wishes for Megastar Chiranjeevi
On the special occasion of Megastar Chiranjeevi’s birthday, a flood of well-wishes poured in from various political figures and celebrities alike. Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu, Nara Lokesh, and Pawan Kalyan were among those who took to social media to extend their greetings to the Tollywood icon. However, former Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy remained notably silent, raising eyebrows and stirring conversations among the public, particularly Mega fans.
The Missing Birthday Wish from YS Jagan
YS Jagan’s absence from the list of prominent personalities wishing Megastar Chiranjeevi on his birthday did not go unnoticed. It reignited discussions about the perceived strained relationship between Jagan and the Mega family. Many speculated whether this move was intentional, given the history of tension that had developed between Jagan and Chiranjeevi following a particular incident.
The Incident That Triggered It All
The roots of the strained relationship date back to an incident during a Tollywood delegation’s visit to the AP Chief Minister’s Office when Jagan was in power. However, Jagan’s response, a laugh perceived by many as dismissive, did not sit well with the Mega fans. The video of this interaction circulated widely on social media, fueling discontent among Chiranjeevi’s massive fan base.
Following this incident, Mega fans united in their support for Pawan Kalyan and Janasena, leading to a solidified base that closed any previous cracks within the fan community. The incident was a rallying point that brought Mega followers together in their show of solidarity for Pawan Kalyan and Chiranjeevi.
Why YS Jagan Chose Silence
With this past friction in mind, it seems YS Jagan may have opted not to wish Megastar Chiranjeevi on his birthday to avoid reigniting old tensions. Some believe that Jagan’s silence is a continuation of the cold war that began with the viral incident, while others think it may be an attempt to maintain distance from the Mega family, now aligned with a favourable TDP+ government.
Chiranjeevi’s Political Position and Support
On the other hand, Mega fans believe that Chiranjeevi is unlikely to be deeply affected by Jagan’s decision to not extend birthday wishes. With his brother Pawan Kalyan now serving as the Deputy Chief Minister in the TDP+ coalition government, Chiranjeevi is in a strong political position. The overwhelming support from fans and political figures alike further cushions any negativity from Jagan’s silence.
In the grander scheme of things, the Mega family appears to be on solid ground, with Chiranjeevi’s enduring popularity and Pawan Kalyan’s growing political influence. The lack of a birthday wish from Jagan seems to be a minor footnote in the larger story of the Mega family’s ongoing political and cinematic success.
