It was on April 30, 2018, when Chiranjeevi had married actress, Meghana Raj in a Christian wedding which was followed by a traditional Hindu ceremony. On June 7, 2020, the actor had suffered a cardiac arrest and had breathed his last at the age of 39. At the time of his death, the couple was expecting their first child and since then, Meghana has been gathering the pieces of her broken heart.
On October 22, 2020, Meghana Raj gave birth to a baby boy. It was Dhruva Sarja, late Chiranjeevi’s brother, who broke the news on his social media. He took to his IG stories and wrote, “Baby boy, Jai Hanuman.” Within a few minutes, the first pictures of the newborn with his uncle, Dhruva went viral and broke the internet. It is an emotional moment for the Sarja family and Chiru’s fans. In the first picture, Dhruva was seen holding the baby boy and in the second picture, he is seen getting the newborn blessings from his late father, Chiranjeevi.
On October 4, 2020, Meghana Raj had taken to her Instagram handle and had posted a beautiful picture from her baby shower. In the picture, we could see her father, Sundar Raj, mother, Pramila Joshai, and her late husband, Chiranjeevi's cut-out. His cut-out had made us realise the harsh reality that he's no longer with us but what makes us smile was the way Meghana had made her husband a part of her baby shower. The doting wifey had captioned the picture with a heart emoticon. She had also shared a monochrome picture from her baby shower with a few lines for her late husband, and it could be read as “My two most special beings, this is the way u want chiru and this way it shall be ... forever and always!
