Chiranjeevi recently gave a special memory to a young student who topped the prestigious TG EAPCET 2026 examination in Telangana. The actor met state topper Malladi Rushi after her father’s emotional promise to her actually became reality. According to reports shared online by fan pages, Rushi’s father had told her that if she secured the top state rank in the highly competitive entrance exam, he would somehow arrange a meeting with the Megastar. Now that promise has finally happened, and the wholesome interaction is getting attention across social media.
Photos and videos from the meeting showed Chiranjeevi sitting down with Rushi and her parents in a calm and personal interaction instead of making it feel like a formal celebrity event. The actor looked genuinely happy while speaking to the student about her achievement and future ambitions. During the conversation, he reportedly asked what she planned to study next and how she wanted to move forward after such a massive academic success. Rushi shared that she hopes to pursue B.Tech before later preparing for Civil Services examinations, which impressed the actor even more.
The numbers behind her achievement honestly make the success even bigger. Nearly 1.97 lakh students appeared for the engineering stream of TG EAPCET this year, while around 1.44 lakh students qualified. Malladi Rushi managed to secure the top position with an incredible score of 156.63 marks out of 160, placing her above thousands of highly competitive candidates across the state. Chiranjeevi congratulated her warmly and reportedly told her that she had brought pride not just to her family but to the entire state of Telangana. He later presented her with a bouquet as a gesture of appreciation and said it was an honour meeting her.
Chiranjeevi’s Warm Gesture Wins Fans Online
The interaction quickly started circulating online because many fans felt it reflected Chiranjeevi’s long-standing image as someone who remains connected with ordinary people despite decades of superstardom. Unlike rushed celebrity meetups that sometimes feel staged for cameras, this one looked more personal and emotional. Fans especially liked how patiently he listened to the student and encouraged her future goals instead of keeping the meeting short. Small moments like these usually connect strongly with Telugu audiences because Chiranjeevi has built a reputation over the years for supporting students, fans, and charitable causes quietly.
Telangana Governor Shiv Pratap Shukla also congratulated Rushi for her achievement and praised her consistency and hard work. The student reportedly credited her success to her parents, saying their emotional and mental support helped her stay focused during preparation. Competitive exams in India often bring intense pressure, so stories like this naturally strike an emotional chord with families and students alike.
Meanwhile, Chiranjeevi is preparing for the release of his upcoming socio-fantasy film Vishwambhara directed by Vassishta. The film stars Trisha Krishnan, Kunal Kapoor and Ashika Ranganath alongside him. Even though the teaser initially faced criticism online for weak visual effects, later promotional footage reportedly received a much better response from audiences. The movie has been in production since 2023 and is currently scheduled for theatrical release later this year.
Ram Charan’s Peddi Also Building Strong Buzz
At the same time, Chiranjeevi’s son Ram Charan is also getting ready for his next big release, Peddi directed by Buchi Babu Sana. The film features a strong cast including Janhvi Kapoor, Shiva Rajkumar, Jagapathi Babu and Divyenndu in important roles. The project already has decent hype among Telugu cinema fans, especially after the early promotional material created curiosity around Ram Charan’s intense look in the film.
For now though, it’s Chiranjeevi’s meeting with the young topper that has left many people smiling online. In a time when celebrity news often becomes dominated by controversies or box office pressure, a simple interaction between a superstar and a hardworking student somehow felt refreshing and genuine.
