Ram Charan, one of South India’s top actors, has always shared a close and inspiring bond with his father, megastar Chiranjeevi. Often referring to his father as his biggest influence, Ram Charan has always spoken about the respect and admiration he holds for him. However, there was a childhood incident that stands out as a lesson for life, which Ram Charan shared during a 2020 interview. The actor recounted the time when Chiranjeevi, known for his strict discipline at home, had to teach him a hard-hitting lesson when he was just 8 years old.
Ram Charan’s Childhood Memory: Learning a Lesson the Hard Way
In the interview, Ram Charan remembered the time when he picked up a few abusive words from his driver and security guard. Not understanding their meaning, young Ram went on to use those words casually. “I saw my driver and security guard talking at the gate, and I learned a few words from them. I didn’t even know what they meant,” Ram Charan recalled.
Ram further shared how he innocently repeated those words to his uncle, Naga Babu. However, things escalated quickly when Chiranjeevi, who had just returned from a film shoot, was informed about his son’s choice of language. Though Chiranjeevi remained calm at first, he decided to teach his son an unforgettable lesson.
The Police Belt Incident: A Gift Turned into a Lesson
Ram Charan revealed that his father used a special belt given to him by his own father, Ram’s grandfather, after retiring from the police force. “My grandfather had gifted a belt to my father after his retirement. My father took that belt and beat me. He told me never to use those words again,” Ram Charan said.
This incident left a deep impact on the actor, who understood the gravity of his mistake and never repeated it.
Chiranjeevi’s Discipline at Home: Respect for Women is a Must
Ram Charan also shared how his father maintains strict discipline at home, particularly when it comes to treating women with respect. Chiranjeevi cannot stand anyone arguing with the women of the house, a value that has clearly been instilled in Ram Charan as well.
This incident from Ram Charan’s childhood highlights not only the bond between father and son but also the importance of discipline and respect that Chiranjeevi emphasized in their family.
