A Heartfelt Family Tribute
Mahesh Babu marked the birth anniversary of his late father, the legendary Telugu actor Superstar Krishna, with a deeply emotional social media post. The ‘Varanasi’ star took to X (formerly Twitter) to share a candid throwback picture from a family gathering, capturing a playful moment between father and son. In the photo, both are seen smiling, and Mahesh accompanied it with a simple yet powerful caption: “Forever my hero….Happy Birthday Nanna.” The post instantly melted hearts, with fans and industry colleagues flooding the comments with love and respect for the late icon.
Not just Mahesh, but his wife Namrata Shirodkar also joined in remembering her father-in-law. She posted a classic black-and-white portrait of Krishna on her social media, writing, “Remembering you with love always. Happy birthday Mamayya!” along with folded hands and white heart emojis. Her tribute was equally heartfelt and drew appreciation from fans who admire how the family continues to honour Krishna’s memory.
Remembering Superstar Krishna’s Legacy
Krishna, whose full name was Ghattamaneni Siva Rama Krishna Murthy, was one of the biggest stars in Telugu cinema. With a career spanning over five decades and more than 350 films, he earned the title ‘Superstar Krishna’ through his versatile performances. Some of his most loved films include Gudachari 116, Alluri Seetarama Raju, Mosagallaku Mosagadu, and Simhasanam. He passed away on November 15, 2022, at the age of 79 due to a cardiac arrest, leaving behind a legacy that continues to inspire generations.
