Ram Charan frequently reminisced about his dad, iconic Megastar Chiranjeevi. In one of his older interviews, he explained how he and his siblings remained unaware of their superstar father's fame when they were growing up.

Recalling an anecdote, Ram stated, "A popular Indian painter drew a portrait of him (Chiranjeevi), and even that never came into our home because he did not wish the impact of his art to reach our home."

Ram went on to clarify that his father was well aware of the dangers involved in the world of films, which included sheer glamour and tempting opportunities. So that his children would not be complacent with his superstardom, Chiranjeevi ensured they were kept in the dark about his superstar status.
