“Happy birthday my happiness! No matter what, no matter who… not one… not two… the reason I smile is only for you… my dearest husband Chiru (Chiranjeevi)… I love you,” Meghana wrote. In 2018, Chiranjeevi married Meghna. The couple had dated for quite some time before the marriage. The two had a son together, Raayan Raj Sarja.

Last year, on the first death anniversary of her husband, Meghana had recalled the night of Chiranjeevi’s death in an interview. “The one thing that stays with me the most, is how on the night of June 6, 2020, I was fast asleep while Chiranjeevi was still awake. At some point during the night, I opened my eyes, only to see that he was just gazing at me and smiling. I asked him what he was thinking and he said ‘nothing’. The look on his face that night will remain with me forever and I think of it every single day,” Meghana had told The Times of India. She had also said that she would take her son to visit her husband’s memorial for the first time.

Chiranjeevi made his acting debut in 2009 with the Kannada film Vayuputra. Nephew of popular Tamil actor Arjun and grandson of veteran actor Shakti Prasad, he had starred in over 20 films. His last release was the Kannada action-drama Shivarjuna, which released earlier this year. Some of his other popular films include Varadanayaka, Whistle, Ram-Leela, Bhajari and Khaki among others.
