Chiranjeevi reacts to money being collected for fan meets

Chiranjeevi posted a note on social media calling out organisers that tried to charge a fee while organising a fan meet in the UK. He wrote on X (formerly Twitter), “My Dear Fans , I am deeply touched by all your love and affection in wanting to meet me in UK. However, I’ve been informed that some individuals are attempting to charge a fee for the fan meetings. I strongly condemned this behaviour.”

The actor also added that any money collected so far will be refunded, asking fans to be cautious of such people, writing, “Any fee collected by any one will be refunded immediately. Please be cautious and know that I will NEVER support these actions, anywhere. The bond of love and affection we share is priceless. It cannot be commercialised by anyone in any manner. Let’s keep our interactions genuine and free from any kind of exploitation.”

Fans also shared a video of Chiranjeevi from the fan meet reiterating the same. He said, “No one can monetise our love for each other. No one has the right to do that and I condemn whatever has happened. I thank everyone for supporting me.”
