The #BeTheRealMan challenge, a brainchild of the pandemic era, saw celebrities embracing household chores and nominating their peers to do the same. One of the most talked-about exchanges involved the ‘Dragon’ star Jr NTR and the legendary Megastar Chiranjeevi.

‘Dragon’ Star Initiates the Challenge

Jr NTR, after accepting the challenge from acclaimed filmmaker SS Rajamouli, shared a video demonstrating his commitment to shared domestic responsibilities. In his video, he emphasized, “Here it is Jakkana @ssrajamouli. మన ఇంట్లో ప్రేమలు ఆప్యాయతలే కాదు. పనులను కూడా పంచుకుందాం. It is fun when you share the work load. #BetheREALMANI now nominate Bala Babai, @KChiruTweets Garu, @iamnagarjuna Babai, @VenkyMama Garu and @sivakoratala Garu for this challenge.” His nominations set off a chain reaction across the industry, with Chiranjeevi promptly accepting the gauntlet.

Chiranjeevi Embraces the Challenge with Heartfelt Gesture

Chiranjeevi’s response to Jr NTR’s nomination became an instant classic. The Megastar posted a video showcasing his active participation in household duties. He was seen diligently vacuuming the carpeted sections of his living room before moving to the kitchen. There, he lovingly prepared a meal for his mother, Anjanamma, choosing to make her favorite onion dosa. The video beautifully captured the culinary process, culminating in him serving the freshly prepared dish to his mother.

A Touching Family Moment: Onion Dosa for Anjanamma

The most poignant moment of Chiranjeevi’s video unfolded after serving the dosa. Before partaking in the meal herself, Anjanamma, with a gesture of profound affection, fed a piece of the dosa to her son. Chiranjeevi, in turn, was seen carefully cooling down the hot dosa before enjoying it. The scene, set to the melodious strains of ‘Maguva Maguva,’ resonated deeply with viewers, highlighting the strong familial bonds within the celebrity household.

Passing the Torch: Chiranjeevi Nominates More Luminaries

Upon successfully completing the challenge, Chiranjeevi shared his video, affectionately addressing Jr NTR as “Bheem.” He continued the spirit of the campaign by nominating other prominent figures, extending the reach of the initiative. He wrote, “Here it is Bheem @tarak9999 నేను రోజు చేసే పనులే…ఇవళా உங்களுக்காக ఈ వీడియో సాక్ష్యం. And I now nominate @KTRTRS & my friend @rajinikanth #BeTheRealMan challenge.” The #BeTheRealMan campaign proved to be a highly successful and engaging social media initiative during the early months of the pandemic, fostering a sense of community and relatability among celebrities and their fans.

Beyond the Challenge: Jr NTR’s Luxurious Jubilee Hills Abode

While the #BeTheRealMan challenge provided a look into their domestic routines, it’s also worth noting the opulent lifestyles many of these stars lead. Jr NTR, for instance, is renowned for his lavish residence in Jubilee Hills, Hyderabad. This exclusive neighborhood is considered one of the city’s most premium residential areas.

According to a May 2022 report by GQ India, Jr. NTR’s Hyderabad residence is valued at an impressive Rs. 25 crore. This sprawling estate boasts a vast, lush lawn and serves as a private sanctuary for the actor, his wife Lakshmi Pranathi, and their two sons. The interiors are equally impressive, featuring a sprawling living room adorned with soft beige walls, warm lighting, and vibrant yellow sofa chairs, injecting a lively splash of color.

The property emphasizes a love for open spaces and nature, evident in its massive entrance framed by lush greenery, a wide balcony with rustic flooring and black iron grills, and a private garden—a favored spot for the actor to relax with his family. The modern aesthetic continues into the sleek, open kitchen, styled in a timeless black, white, and grey color palette, seamlessly connected to an adjacent dining area.

Beyond this primary residence, Jr. NTR also owns “Brindavanam,” a massive six-and-a-half-acre estate on the outskirts of Hyderabad, a thoughtful gift for his wife, Lakshmi Pranathi.

On the professional front, fans eagerly await Jr NTR’s collaboration with Prashanth Neel in the upcoming film, ‘Dragon’.
