Actress Lavanya Tripathi slammed a journalist for criticising her father-in-law and Telugu cinema icon Chiranjeevi after his old comment about having a boy child resurfaced following the birth of Ram Charan’s
twins. While the comment made headlines and sparked discussions on social media, Lavanya strongly defended her father-in-law.
Taking to her X account, Lavanya, while replying to a tweet by a journalist, shared, “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. 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 :)”

The controversy stems from an old remark by Chiranjeevi, where he referred to himself as a warden of a ‘ladies’ hostel’, as he is already a grandfather of four girls.
About Ram Charan’s Twins
On February 1, Ram Charan and Upasana took to their Instagram to share a photo from before the arrival of their twins. In the picture, the Peddi star poses happily beside Upasana, who is seen flaunting her baby bump. The couple is also joined by their pet dogs, making the moment even more special. In the caption, the couple announced their twins’ arrival and wrote, “Happy to share that we have been blessed with a baby boy & girl. Having two daughters and a son fills us with immense gratitude. The women in our life have been our greatest strength. I’m very thankful to all our fans, family, and well-wishers who have stood by us and supported us through every moment.”
