Mahesh Babu Melts Hearts With Birthday Post For Daughter Sitara: 'Shine Bright'

Mahesh Babu is often celebrated for his acting skills, charm and fashion sense. However, besides his impressive career, the superstar is also known for being a dedicated family man. The Sarkaru Vaari Paata star regularly shares glimpses of his personal life with his wife Namrata and their children. Recently, the superstar celebrated his daughter, Sitara Ghattamaneni’s 12th birthday and to make the day special, Mahesh Babu posted a never before seen photo of Sitara on Instagram, where he expressed his love for her. Not just Mahesh but Sitara’s mother and actress Namrata Shirodkar also extended her birthday wishes in the comments section.

Although the actor frequently shares photos with his daughter, this time he chose to post a solo picture of Sitara on her special day. The Maharshi star posted a candid, sunkissed photo of his daughter in an orange top, where she is seen flaunting her bright smile for the camera. Sharing the picture, the superstar wrote, “Happy 12 my little one. Have the best day ever. May all that you wish for be yours. Shine bright, like the star you are. Love you, more and more. Happy birthday sunshine.”

After Mahesh Babu shared the post on Instagram, fans of the superstar quickly filled the comments with birthday wishes for Sitara Ghattamaneni. However, it was her mother, Namrata Shirodkar’s comment that captured maximum attention, who wrote, “Happy happy birthday to the little love of our lives.” Not just her, Namrata’s sister, Shilpa Shirodkar also joined in the celebrations and wrote, “Happy birthday my youngest one.”

Namrata also posted a special tribute for Sitara, by creating a sweet compilation video from their various travel adventures and private moments, which highlights their close bond together.

The actress captioned, “Happy Birthday to my favourite little travel companion. Different countries, countless memories, you’ve always been my little guide. Making every journey special. Celebrating these moments and memories. I can see what an incredible little girl you are growing into. I Love you my sweetheart always and forever. Happy 12 my little one.”

Mahesh Babu and Namrata Shirodkar, who tied the knot in 2005, share two children together. The couple first welcomed their son, Gautham Ghattamaneni in 2006 and welcomed their daughter, Sitara in 2012.

On the work front, Mahesh Babu, who last appeared in Trivikram Srinivas’ Guntur Kaaram, is now preparing for his next major role in SS Rajamouli’s tentatively titled, SSMB29.
