There was a time when the only place you got to see superstar Mahesh Babu was on the silver screen or in the advertisements. Mahesh maintained such a low profile and was quite a private person. It is only in the recent times that his frequency of public appearances has increased and yet he has a guarded approach on the personal front.

Given that, it came as a surprise to the Ghattamaneni fans when they saw one emotional wish coming from Mahesh. Apparently, it was the birthday of superstar Krishna, father of Mahesh and the latter took to his Twitter handle to convey his thoughts. The message goes like this-

My real hero, my mentor, idol, my pillar of strength... my everything. Proud to be your son. Happy birthday Nana -- the forever evergreen superstar. #HBDSuperStarKrishna ?

Those who saw this message were quite touched with the way Mahesh expressed himself to his father. Overall, it always feels nice and good when you get to see a rather humane and humble side of the larger than life superstars.
