It is well known that the Government of India recently announced the prestigious Padma Bhushan award for Nandamuri Balakrishna. Following this announcement, fans, film industry personalities, and political leaders extended their heartfelt congratulations to him.
Speaking at a recent event, Balakrishna shared his thoughts on receiving the honor. He stated that while the Padma Bhushan is a great recognition, what truly matters is the long-standing wish of Telugu people—to see his father, legendary actor and former Chief Minister Nandamuri Taraka Rama Rao (NTR), honored with the Bharat Ratna, India’s highest civilian award. He expressed confidence that NTR will undoubtedly receive the honor one day.
Balakrishna also dedicated the Padma Bhushan to his fans, acknowledging that their love and blessings made this achievement possible. His renewed call for Bharat Ratna for NTR has now become a hot topic of discussion, once again igniting the aspirations of millions of Telugu people.
