mammutty is ok for legend award bcz he got national best actor award.

But chiranjeevi is not ok for that. he is only mass hero, he is popular in

dance only not in acting like mammutty,kamal hasan,venkatesh etc.

Chiru is not a legend. But a gas cylinder. When he dances, we feel as if a gas cylinder is being rotated.

Jaina, first get to know at least something about chiru, then you will be fit to talk about chiru. He is a "Legend" not because of just acting, not because of his dances. A legend is the one who excels in all fields, a legend is the one who is kind to humans, a legend is the one who feels for the poor, a legend is the one who donotes their services for the needy, a legend is the one who worries when people in general go wrong, a Legend is the one who tries to set right the people going on the wrong path by some means...and chiru is a Legend who has chosen films as a media to do this and he will...okay Jaina...

I am agreed with you and I suppose he is not only a "Legend" but more than a Legend. We must appreciate his efforts towards Humanity. Today actors are just like vegetable (everywhere) but true human beings are not like that.

He is a good actor (as opposed to "excels at all fields"). Someone who is exceptionally good at an art form can be called a legend. If you call him a legend because of that, there is at least a debatable point.



Correct me if I am wrong, but what's exceptional about Chiranjeevi's humanity?



I quote the following argument I found on another website:



--------------------------------------------------------------



"I do not understand this whole hullabaloo about the blood and eye banks.



I really do not mean to take anything away from a good cause, but:



1. Anyone who's reached that position in wealth and success will anyway do something for society - there's nothing special about Chiranjeevi. You'll feel lousy if you keep all your money for yourself - and guilty too if you believe in religion.



2. And if you are a star with great mass appeal, you _have_ to do something so your fans can crow about you being a great human being, and so they have something to retaliate when people call Rajnikant great and humble.



3. Also, if you have to keep alive a possibility of a political career when your movie career gets over, you have to have some philanthropic track record.



4. How much money does Chiranjeevi himself need to spend for these blood and eye banks? From what I understand, it is mostly the fans' free effort. Did he build a world-class heart hospital that serves poor people for free while paying huge salaries to doctors each month? He certainly has the money.



Like I said, a good deed is a good deed - let's not take away from it. It's just this whole big deal his fans make out of the blood and eye banks that is frustrating. It seems peanuts for what Chiranjeevi really _can_ do if he his heart is really bleeding for society.



I do not think anyone will disagree that he's made enough money now - let him declare that all his earnings from hereon will go to charity. Will he?



--------------------------------------------------------------



I pretty much agree with most points there.



Call him a legend for his acting - I'll at least be open to listening. But no person I'd call a truly great human being ever had as much wealth as Chiranjeevi does. If you're that great, you can't stand hoarding so much wealth when people around you are suffering without food.



Indeed, if Chiranjeevi's heart bled for the common man, he'd have much lesser property in his name today. I'm guessing he's worth a couple of hundred crores today. I think that's more than you need for a reasonable standard of living (a decent house, decent furnishings and a car) and a bank balance that will take care of any medical emergencies and a good education for your kids.



Will he then consider donating all his wealth except whatever is needed for the above? He'd be changing a few thousand lives if he chose to do that. He'll be acknowledgedly a better human being than me then.



Let's not mix up artistic ability and human-ness.



I'm not taking away from anything Chiranjeevi has done to improve society - certainly not. He has indeed been part of charitable causes. I'm just saying I wouldn't call him a "legend"arily good human being from what I currently know of his philanthropic activities.

Hi,



I have read the messages posted on this forum with great interest and good deal of objectivity. I am not a fan of Chiranjeevi and am in no way a fanatic who would shriek murder the moment someone writes or says something bad about his idol.



But I would like to ask one question here please? Where is it written that rich people should ONLY do charity or SHOULD compulsarily do charity? Someone wrote in one of the messages below that would he donate all his money to the poor. Why do we have a misconception that all rich people are thugs and all poor people are innocent?



Why should Chiranjeevi's wealth be held against him? I am sure he has worked very hard for each and every penny he has earned and he has every right to do whatever he wants with his money. Tomorrow will anyone of you agree if I come and tell you to part with your hard earned money? I dont think he earned his wealth through legitimate means and he has not cheated or stolen the money from any of us.



He is being called a legend because of his acting skills and some philantropic ment of mind .... why are you bringing his economic status into this? There are many wealthy people in this country .... some many times wealthier than Chiranjeevi. How many of them are involved in charity? And why only wealthy people ..... how many of you are involved in charity? How many of you have ever donated money?



Unfortunately we have always had this tendency to drag people back and not move forward ourselves. The world is moving at a rapid pace and we are still pointing fingers and people without as much as moving a hair ourselves.



Shame.

Someone wrote in one of the messages below that would he donate all his money to the poor. Why should Chiranjeevi's wealth be held against him?

Nobody wrote that he should donate all his money to the poor, and nobody is holding his wealth against him. I only said that it's perhaps okay to call him a legend for his acting skills, but disputed another message (by Legend Sister) that said that he is a legend for his goodness. To be called a legend for goodness, I said, a person should be able to, among other things, donate all his wealth for lesser-privileged people, except what he needs for a decent standard of living.

It's not that anyone expects Chiranjeevi to do this, or that he is not a good person if he doesn't do this. The point was, on what grounds can you call a person a legend for his goodness (as opposed to artistic ability).

You should read a message carefully before adding to it or commenting on it.

There are many wealthy people in this country .... some many times wealthier than Chiranjeevi. How many of them are involved in charity? And why only wealthy people ..... how many of you are involved in charity? How many of you have ever donated money?

A lot of people do charity - I'd guess 85% of people with an income of more than Rs. 8,000 a month donate to some extent. They just don't tell you and me. We should not have such a blinkered view of the world. 90% of people in the world are mostly good and kind people.
