Chiru feels the first pinch of media

Despite his behind the screen the preparations on how to face the media, megastar Chiranjeevi could not hide his nervousness in facing the media, on the occasion of the inauguration of his party office after the midnight of Sunday. Chiru tried to put up a brave face while facing questions from the media, most of which were, in fact, silly and meaningless. "Why did you inaugurate the party office after midnight? Why was it so secret affair?" was the first question. Chiru was prepared to answer this question, but was nervous while answering: "You see, many gruha praveshams are generally conducted during late in the nights. This is a formal muhurtham and hence, it had to be done now. There is no secrecy in it. Everything is open," he said. Then, came a silly question. "You have inaugurated the party office. Does it mean that you are actually confirming your entry into politics?" Chiru was in an embarrassing situation, as he had to announce that he is launching the party. "Do you still have the doubts, after seeing the developments all these days?" was his retort. Obviously, he was feeling a bit angry. Then came the obvious question: "When will you make the announcement?" Chiranjeevi quietly said: "In a couple of days." A reporter then insisted on the exact date: "What does it mean by a couple of days? On August 13?" Chiru got angry. "A couple of days mean two days. It might take two or three days." Then, the final shot. "When will be your public meeting and where?" This question was obvious and Chiru quietly said: "You will come to know everything by month end. In fact, every thing will be completed by this month-end." Initially, Chiranjeevi did not want to talk to the media and in fact, did not even invite media to the party office inauguration. But the electronic media came on their own and Chiru could not say get last. They forced him into conversation by asking him to give an appeal to his fans to participate in the flood relief operations. Slowly, media made him talk about politics. So clever the media was!
