According to Hindustan Times, while thanking everyone for his award, Chiranjeevi said, “ I thank IFFI and the government of India for giving me this wonderful award and great honour. Few recognitions are special, and this award is one such. I was born into a middle-class family, to humble parents. My fame, name, charisma, all privileges, the invaluable love and affection of my fans and everything, I owe everything to the film industry. I was born as Konidela Siva Shankara Vara Prasad to my parents and I was re-born as Chiranjeevi in the film industry,” he said in his speech.
He added, “I will continue acting all my life. I can never quit acting because I’m a slave to the love of Telugu cinema fans.”
