Chiranjeevi Gives Away NTR Award Cash

Megastar Chiranjeevi has once again won hearts off-screen with a touching act of generosity. At a time when he is enjoying the blockbuster success of Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu and preparing for a packed slate of upcoming films, the veteran actor chose to mark a special family occasion in a deeply meaningful way. Instead of keeping the ₹10 lakh cash prize that came with the prestigious NTR Award recently presented by the Telangana Government, Chiranjeevi donated the entire amount to charity.
The donation was made as part of the birthday celebrations of his son, Ram Charan. While many celebrity birthdays are usually marked by fanfare, cakes and grand parties, Chiranjeevi turned the moment into one of compassion and social responsibility. The actor distributed the full award amount among five charitable organizations that work in the fields of elderly care, child welfare, disability support and healthcare.
A portion of the donation was extended to the Serve Foundation, which supports elderly people and helps meet their daily needs. This contribution also carried emotional value. Some of the elderly residents associated with the foundation had earlier expressed their wish to celebrate Ram Charan’s birthday after meeting him during the shooting of Game Changer. Wanting to make that wish come true, Chiranjeevi reportedly invited 30 elderly residents to his Blood Bank premises, arranged new clothes for them and hosted them for a special festive meal. The gesture added a personal and heartwarming touch to the occasion.
The Devnar Foundation for the Blind was also among the beneficiaries of Chiranjeevi’s donation. Known for its work in supporting visually impaired individuals, the foundation received help towards its ongoing efforts in education, care and empowerment. By extending support to such an institution, Chiranjeevi once again underlined his respect for organizations that quietly continue life-changing work behind the scenes.
In another thoughtful move, he also donated to the Valmiki Foundation and the Nayasree Foundation, both of which are involved in caring for orphaned and underprivileged children. These contributions are expected to support the organizations in strengthening their welfare activities and ensuring better care for the children under their protection. Chiranjeevi’s support to these foundations reflects his long-held belief that social responsibility should go beyond words and become a meaningful action.
Adding further emotional depth to the day, Chiranjeevi also contributed to the Basavatarakam Indo-American Cancer Hospital. The amount was directed towards the treatment of a young girl who is currently battling cancer. This part of the donation stood out as especially moving, as it highlighted his concern for families dealing with serious medical hardships and his continued support for healthcare causes.
Chiranjeevi has often been admired not just for his towering presence in cinema, but also for the humanitarian work he has quietly carried forward over the years through initiatives like blood donation and public service. This latest gesture only adds to that legacy. By choosing to donate the entire NTR Award prize money, he transformed a moment of personal recognition into one of public good.
In an industry where celebrations often become spectacles, Chiranjeevi’s decision offered a different message — that true joy lies in giving. By connecting his son’s birthday with acts of kindness, he turned a family celebration into a memorable day for many people in need. Once again, the Megastar proved that beyond cinema, his biggest role may well be that of a man committed to humanity.
