Legacy is like a river—it flows forward, shaped by the past but forging its own path. Recently, Megastar Chiranjeevi’s remarks about wanting a grandson to carry forward his legacy have sparked discussions on gender and inheritance. Popular TV host and actress Shyamala has now voiced her opinion, questioning the outdated belief that only sons can uphold a family’s legacy. She pointed out that in today’s world, where women excel in every field, this notion feels irrelevant. Referring to Chiranjeevi’s own family, she highlighted Upasana Konidela, his daughter-in-law, as a successful entrepreneur who exemplifies how daughters, too, can be torchbearers of a legacy.
The controversy began at the pre-release event of Brahma Anandha, featuring Brahmanandam and his son Raja Gautham. As the chief guest, Chiranjeevi humorously remarked that his home feels like a “ladies’ hostel” and that he hopes for a grandson to carry the family name. He also mentioned his concern about Ram Charan having another daughter, which triggered backlash. Many criticized his statement as regressive and gender-biased, arguing that in 2025, legacy should not be restricted to male heirs.
Shyamala’s response resonated with many, as she emphasized that daughters are equally capable of upholding family values and continuing a legacy. She suggested that public figures should be mindful of their words, as they influence millions. While she refrained from making direct criticisms, her stance reflected the growing shift in societal perceptions about legacy and gender roles.
As conversations around gender equality continue to evolve, so do expectations regarding family heritage. Perhaps, in the future, legacy will no longer be linked to gender, but rather to merit, passion, and dedication. And maybe, the next generation will look back at this debate and wonder why it was ever a debate at all.
