Actress Lavanya Tripathi recently defended her father-in-law, Chiranjeevi, against criticism following the birth of Ram Charan’s twins. She slammed a journalist’s ‘bad taste’ comments and emphasized Chiranjeevi’s respect for the women in his family.
Lavanya Tripathi’s Response to Criticism
Lavanya Tripathi recently hit back at a journalist for making comments in ‘bad taste’ about Chiranjeevi after Ram Charan’s twins’ birth.
When Ram Charan and Upasana Konidela had twins last month, Chiranjeevi’s old comment about wanting a male heir resurfaced. Amid criticism for holding a press conference to announce the birth of a boy and a girl, Varun Tej’s wife, Lavanya Tripathi , had defended her mavayya (father-in-law). While promoting her upcoming film Sathi Leelavathi, Lavanya said that she doesn’t like it when people attack her family.
The Controversy Surrounding Chiranjeevi’s Comments
The actor then stated that she needed to explain why she responded to that tweet, saying, “And, we need to speak about that tweet. That was in very bad taste. When a family is celebrating, what is the need to tweet such a thing? It’s a bad tweet. It’s my family. If somebody comes to my family, I will not like it.”
When Ram and Upasana’s twins were born on January 31, a journalist was one among many who criticised him for holding a press conference. Many criticised him for not doing the same after the birth of Klin Kaara in 2023, chalking it up to his being happy to have a grandson. Responding to the journo’s now deleted tweet, Lavanya wrote, “I usually ignore tweets like this and let them pass on my timeline, but I didn’t expect it from you..This tweet is in extremely poor taste, turning a genuinely happy moment into something unpleasant.”
Defending Family: Lavanya’s Strong Stance
“You clearly don’t know how he treats the women in his family, especially his granddaughters. Very few men can do even 1% of what he does, so it’s best not to comment on people you don’t truly know :)” she added. Lavanya married Chiranjeevi’s nephew, Varun Tej, in 2023. Their son Vaayuv was born in 2025.
Lavanya Tripathi’s strong defense of her family highlights the importance of respect and understanding in familial relationships. Her comments offer a glimpse into the dynamics within the Chiranjeevi family and her commitment to protecting their image.
