Chiranjeevi is going through a joyful phase both personally and professionally. His Sankranthi release Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu turned into a box office blockbuster. His son Ram Charan recently became a parent to twins, and his nephew Allu Sirish is set to get married next month.

Adding to the celebrations, his wife Surekha celebrated her 67th birthday today. Chiranjeevi, who married her on February 20, 1980, is set to complete 46 years of marriage.

Marking the occasion, the Megastar shared throwback pictures of the couple on social media and posted an emotional message expressing his gratitude and love. Calling her his lifelong pillar of strength, he wrote, “from the day we got married on February 20, 1980, you have been my greatest strength.”

He described her as the emotional core of the family and credited her with holding everyone together. He wrote, “If anyone asks me the secret of my success, it is not my talent or hard work, it is you.”

He added that her quiet strength allowed him to focus fully on his career and called her his constant support system through every crisis and celebration. He concluded, “I am what I am because of you,” and signed off with love.

The throwback pictures reminded fans of young Chiru and Surekha, with many followers and celebrities extending birthday wishes to her.
