An emotional Chiranjeevi said in his speech, "People in my house asked me how I felt after receiving the Padma Vibhushan, and I said I felt good. But, truth be told, I was much happier after receiving the Padma Bhushan award. After so many years, I was awarded the Padma Vibhushan, and I was not at all excited. Sure, I was happy and I knew that I had to acknowledge this award with dignity and respect, and I did that."
