Sad news recently touched the entertainment world. Allu Kanakaratnam, the wife of the respected Padma Shri Allu Ramalingaiah, passed away on August 30, 2025. She was 94 years old. Amidst this sorrow, a heartwarming story has emerged. Actor Chiranjeevi, her son-in-law, made sure her final wish was beautifully fulfilled.
Allu Kanakaratnam had expressed a special desire: she wanted to donate her eyes after her passing. Chiranjeevi, often known as the Megastar, shared this during a recent speech. He explained how he quickly arranged for her wish to be honored. He was the first person to reach Allu Aravind’s home, his wife’s brother, right after hearing the news of her mother’s demise. Allu Aravind was on his way from Bengaluru.
Chiranjeevi asked Allu Aravind if he would agree to his mother’s eye donation. Aravind did not hesitate, immediately giving his consent. This wasn’t a sudden idea for Kanakaratnam. Chiranjeevi remembered a past conversation he had shared with his own mother and his mother-in-law. During that earlier chat, Allu Kanakaratnam had already expressed her willingness to donate her eyes.
With that memory in mind, Chiranjeevi acted swiftly. He contacted his personal “My Blood Bank” to organize the entire eye donation process. The arrangement was completed that very day, transforming a moment of profound sadness into a gift of sight for others. This kind act stands as a powerful testament to compassion.
This thoughtful gesture quickly resonated with fans and the media. Social media platforms are filled with praise for Chiranjeevi. One user on X (formerly Twitter) highlighted his deep compassion. They wrote that Chiranjeevi’s timely and heartfelt decision to arrange the eye donation for Allu Kanakaratnam truly turned sorrow into a “light of hope” for many.
