Hyderabad, March 10 – Megastar Chiranjeevi penned a heartfelt birthday message for his daughter, Sushmita Konidela, on Tuesday, expressing how her role in producing a film and delivering a blockbuster made him incredibly proud.
On his X timeline, the Telugu star wrote, "Happy Birthday, my precious @sushkonidela. From the little girl who once held my finger and walked beside me, to the strong, graceful, and responsible woman you are today. One of the most special moments for me as a father was seeing you watching my films, now producing a film, and giving me a memorable blockbuster. That truly made me incredibly proud. Wishing you good health, happiness, and endless success in everything you do. Keep shining, my dear Honey Papa. Lots of love and blessings always."
It may be recalled that Sushmita Konidela had produced her father, Megastar Chiranjeevi's, most recent blockbuster, "Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu." The producer, who shares a close bond with her father, had earlier this year revealed that if one has the desire to learn, one can learn a lesson from him every day.
During a recent interaction in January this year, Sushmita Konidela was asked about working with her father, Chiranjeevi, who is an inspiration to many, and the lessons she had learned from working with him in this film.
Responding to the question, Sushmita said that if one has the desire to learn, one can learn a lesson from him every day. The producer also went on to say that through this film, "Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu," she had learned from her father that once one begins a task, "one will have to dedicate one's life to it. One must work hard and honestly."
The producer said, "Dad is very loving and full of fun with all of us at home. However, once he steps on the set, his complete focus is on the character. Even today, he prepares like a first-timer."
