Fact Check: The claim that Chiranjeevi received a Lifetime Achievement Award from the UK Parliament is false. While Chiranjeevi is indeed felicitated at a grand ceremony in the House of Commons, UK Parliament, on March 19, 2025, the award itself is not from the UK Parliament.

Instead, the Lifetime Achievement Award for Excellence in Public Service through Cultural Leadership was presented by Bridge India, an UK-based public policy organization.

Meanwhile, Chiranjeevi shared his heartfelt gratitude for the Life Time Achievement Award presented to him by Team Bridge India at the House of Commons, UK Parliament. Surrounded by esteemed Members of Parliament, Ministers, Under Secretaries, and Diplomats, the actor was humbled by their kind words and appreciation.

"I am deeply honored and humbled to receive this prestigious award from Team Bridge India," Chiranjeevi said. "To be recognized in such a distinguished setting, surrounded by so many esteemed individuals, fills my heart with immense gratitude."

He went on to express his thanks to his fans, family, friends, and colleagues who have supported him throughout his journey and the humanitarian causes he has passionately championed.

"Words can never be enough to express my appreciation for each one of you—my blood brothers and sisters, my film family, my well-wishers, and my loved ones," he added. "This recognition from Team Bridge India strengthens my resolve and motivates me to continue my work with even greater vigour."



Verdict: False Claim
The UK Parliament did not confer a Lifetime Achievement Award on Chiranjeevi. The award was presented by Bridge India, a respected UK public policy organization.
