It&#8217;s disheartening to see someone of Chiranjeevi&#8217;s stature perpetuate outdated gender biases. The obsession with a male heir is not only disappointing but also a reflection of a societal mindset that needs urgent change.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><!--#MIDAD2--><\/p>\n<p>The user added, &#8220;Chiranjeevi, with his influence, he could be advocating for equality and breaking these stereotypes, yet here we are, discussing his fear of having another granddaughter. It&#8217;s time to evolve, to recognise that every child, regardless of gender, is a blessing and contributes equally to legacy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"sp_lnk2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ndtv.com\/entertainment\/amid-reports-of-tiff-chiranjeevi-says-he-is-proud-of-allu-arjuns-pushpa-2-7676815\">Another X user wrote<\/a>, &#8220;Celebrity like him should be cautious what to say in public. It&#8217;s so.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Yet another user wrote, &#8220;His grand daughter could also take his legacy forward. He only have to look at how his daughter-in-law and her siblings are successful in taking Apollo forward or Ashwini Dutt&#8217;s children.
