Pawan Kalyan is an actor, director, screenwriter, stunt coordinator, and politician known as Power Star among the masses. He has created a strong fanbase for himself irrespective of his movies being a hit or flop.
Initially, Pawan suffered from Bronchitis, so he stayed at home. He used to stay at home & observe his environment and surroundings with keen interest.
Once during his class in school, his teacher caught him talking to someone, and she asked him to repeat what she said. She was talking about school infrastructure on a positive note while Pawan spoke about the reality.
So, what he said was the opposite of what was being taught. The teacher took him out of the class and beat him up. After that, Pawan made it a note to always notice the difference between speech and action.
Since then, he has been noticing the difference between political manifestos and their actions. His father got him the book Takattulo Bharatha Desam which made him a fan of Che Guevara. He wanted to fight injustice and was inclined towards joining extremist groups.
He got so engraved in societal issues that he ended up failing his exams. He gave multiple attempts to clear his 12th but failed each time because his focus was on social ills & not on studies. This made him discontinue his studies. Seeing his friends taking admissions to various universities while he sat at home got him depressed as he couldn’t meet his parents' expectations. He wanted to commit suicide using the gun his brother had at home. A family member heard this and counseled him. After that, he got into yoga and meditation.
Pawan’s movies are loaded with his graceful but deadly Karate moves, but in reality, he wasn’t interested in the art initially. Pawan’s brother Nagendra was a martial arts enthusiast. Whereas Pawan used to laugh it off when he encouraged Pawan to join.
He never got excited watching Bruce Lee movies and thought that martial arts were for foreigners to learn. But when in school, guys made fun of his brother Chiranjeevi, he used to get furious and wanted to beat them up. But he couldn’t because he was weak and used to get angry quickly. So, he joined martial arts, and it helped him control his anger.
Pawan Kalyan achieved black belt in Karate. Around that time, he demonstrated his skills before a massive crowd in a show. Konidela Kalyan Babu became Pawan when he was awarded the title for his performance. Pawan symbolizes Lord Hanuman, and this title was given to honor the energy he displayed in his performance.
Pawan got engrossed in martial arts, yoga & meditation. He started doing meditation for hours a day and gave spiritual lectures to his family members, including Chiranjeevi. He would lecture him on what he should do in life or what life is about.
Once, Chiranjeevi got so irritated that he called him an idiot and told him that he agreed with him. But he also challenged him to build something concrete in his life and then show that he remains the same person, not caring about materialistic life, and then he’ll listen.
That was an awakening moment for Pawan, and he accepted the challenge.
He had no educational background, so he only had a future in the movies. But, he’s a shy person as well, so he thought of being a director. But his brother insisted that he becomes an actor. Even today, he takes his time going to the sets on the first few days.
Now being a person influenced by many influential personalities, he wanted to bring change in society. So he decided to give a message in his movies whenever he got a chance. He showed his skills & versatility in his films.
Pawan Kalyan is a mind-blowing writer, and he loves doing it more than acting. This is because when he writes the story & the script, he’s aware of his limits, and both are synchronized well. With writing, he’s also able to show his creativity more and present something impressive to people.
Working in movies to give people a message didn’t satisfy him enough. He wanted to be on the ground doing work and address societal issues. He thought politics could help him deliver it, and he joined his brother and helped people. Later, he gave that up, came back with his party, and started working for cultural integration in India.
Pawan never shies from helping people in need. Giving money to anyone who comes for help is one of the reasons for a rift between him & his second wife. He gave up money to help children through kidney & heart disease operations, old age homes, village development, etc.
Pawan Kalyan is a stylish actor full of energy as well as a patriotic person. He has a lot of love for his countryman. All his efforts via his profession as an actor, writer, or politician are for the upliftment of the values such as justice, equality & unity.
