In an emotional turn of events actor Pawan Kalyan decided to respond to his niece Srija (Chiranjeevi's younger daughter) comments about threats to her husband Sirish's life, by handing over a licensed revolver that he owned, to the police.

Earlier on Chiranjeev's daughter Srija, who eloped and married lover Sirish five days ago, had told the press that her husband might face threat to his life from her family. Reacting strongly to the statements an emotional Pawan Kalyan held a press meet at his residence "Her statements have hurt us deeply. I don't like violence. Our fans give their life for love and our family does not believe in violence. We don't have goondas. This revolver is a licensed one and my brother gave it to me as I am a member of the Chennai Rifle Club".

About Srija's marriage, Pawan Kalyan told "She is a major and has the right to do anything she wishes. But I think that real love should face reality rather than elope. We have known about her love affair since four months and were just worried about her as Sirish has cases pending against him." About his own personal life he said "I am aware that I face being imprisoned in my divorce case and I am ready to face what the law decides".
