In a recent exclusive interview, Pawan Kalyan, the popular Telugu actor and politician, offered insights into his relationship with his elder brother, Chiranjeevi, the megastar of Telugu cinema. Dispelling notions of constant discussions about films, Pawan Kalyan revealed a more profound and personal bond with his brother.

While both brothers have achieved remarkable success in the film industry, Pawan Kalyan emphasized that their conversations rarely revolve around their cinematic endeavors. Instead, their interactions delve into more personal aspects of life, family, and shared experiences. This revelation sheds light on the depth of their relationship, suggesting a connection that extends beyond their professional lives.

Pawan Kalyan has often spoken about the influence Chiranjeevi had on him growing up. He has mentioned that he learned the value of hard work from observing his brother's dedication to his craft. Despite Chiranjeevi's massive success, Pawan Kalyan admired his humility and commitment, especially during the early days of Chiranjeevi's career when facilities for actors were limited.

However, Pawan Kalyan has also stated that he consciously avoided adopting certain traits he observed in Chiranjeevi. He noted Chiranjeevi's tendency to tolerate things due to his good nature and inhibitions, qualities that Pawan Kalyan chose not to emulate.

The relationship between the two brothers has seen its share of scrutiny, particularly when it comes to politics. Chiranjeevi floated the Praja Rajyam party in 2008, which he later merged with the Congress party in 2011. Pawan Kalyan, who had been involved in Praja Rajyam's youth wing, later founded his own political party, Jana Sena, in 2014. These differing political paths led to speculation about a rift between the brothers. Some reports even suggested that Pawan Kalyan's fans disrupted Chiranjeevi's 60th birthday celebrations, demanding Pawan's presence.

Despite any perceived differences, the brothers have shown a united front on several occasions. The entire mega-family came together for the wedding of Varun Tej and Lavanya in Italy. Moreover, Chiranjeevi has publicly supported Pawan Kalyan's political endeavors, even referring to him as a "people's soldier".

Pawan Kalyan's recent entry into Instagram also offered a glimpse into his personal relationships. His first post featured a video reel of throwback pictures with numerous actors, including Chiranjeevi, expressing his hope that their bond would "remain the same".

Naga Babu, another brother in the family, has also alluded to the occasional "differences and arguments" among the mega-family members, but emphasized that their bond remains "truly special". These public statements and displays of affection suggest a strong underlying connection between the brothers, despite any professional or political disagreements.
