The health update comes days after Chiranjeevi announced the names of his son, actor Ram Charan, and Upasana Kamineni's twin babies.

He shared the first glimpse of the twins, and revealed their names Shiva Ram Konidela and Anveera Devi Konidela.

He also explained the meaning of the names.

'Shiva Ram is a profound confluence of two eternal ideals. 'Shiva' is inspired by Shiva Shankara Vara Prasad, reflecting inner strength, spiritual depth and stillness. 'Ram' from Ram Charan embodies righteousness, compassion and moral courage. Together, the name signifies the harmony between inner power and responsible action,' he posted.

'Anveera Devi is a rare and powerful expression of the Divine Feminine. Anveera represents fearlessness, resilience and divine protection, inspired by the blessings of Kanaka Durga Devi. A name that reflects grace, courage and unwavering strength,' he added.

Chiranjeevi was recently seen in the big January hit, Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Gar, costarring Nayanthara and Venkatesh Daggubati.
