Hyderabad: Megastar Chiranjeevi unfurled the national flag at Chiranjeevi Blood Bank. While addressing the gathering, he stated that the “freedom we enjoy today is the result of the sacrifices of many people.” He urged everyone to remember the sacrifices and pay tributes and said that this Republic Day is very special to him.
The ‘Vijetha’ actor shared that in his 45 years of film career, he stood by the people by doing social service and that he has established a Blood bank in this regard.
