Mahesh Babu's daughter Sitara spills the beans, reveals details about brother Gautam's Tollywood debut

Mahesh Babu’s children, Sitara and Gautam, have become familiar faces on social media, often seen alongside their superstar father. Sitara, in particular, has garnered significant attention, thanks to her lively personality and her clear ambitions of stepping into the world of acting. Despite her young age, Sitara has already expressed her desire to follow in her father’s footsteps, indicating that she’s gearing up for a future in the entertainment industry.

The bigger question, however, has always been about Gautam, Mahesh Babu’s son. Would he, too, choose the path of acting? According to Telugu news media reports, Sitara had put all doubts to rest by confirming that Gautam has indeed decided to pursue a career in acting. In an interview, she said, Gautam plans to enroll at the New York Film Academy for a four-year course. After the intensive training, he aims to make a grand debut in Telugu cinema.

Sitara mentioned that both she and Gautam have their father’s unwavering support as they prepare to embrace the challenges and opportunities that come with acting careers.


Adding to Gautam’s growing list of achievements, he recently made his first theatre stage performance in London, an event that turned heads and brought immense pride to his parents. Namrata Shirodkar, Gautam’s mother and former actress, took to Instagram to share her joy and pride. She posted a series of photos from the event, capturing the family’s happy moments and her heartfelt emotions in the caption.

Namrata’s Instagram post read, “Such a special evening ?? so so proud of @gautamghattamaneni his first theatre stage performance all the way in London… and what a show it was… loved it!!

The pictures she shared were a visual treat for fans. The first image featured the entire family—Namrata, Mahesh Babu, Sitara, and Gautam—beaming with pride as they posed for the camera. Namrata opted for a casual look with a striped T-shirt, black pants, and white sneakers. Mahesh Babu sported a blue T-shirt, grey pants, and matching shoes, while Gautam looked sharp in a white shirt and black pants. Sitara stood out in a red and white dress paired with stylish white boots.

In another snapshot, the family was seen enjoying the company of friends, with Namrata capturing a candid selfie that highlighted their close-knit bond. One particularly heartwarming photo showed Gautam smiling as he shared a light moment with Sitara, underscoring the strong sibling bond they share.

This isn’t the first time the family has shared such intimate moments with their fans. Just last month, Mahesh Babu and Namrata celebrated Gautam’s graduation with equal enthusiasm. The proud parents attended his convocation ceremony and shared glimpses of the event on social media. Mahesh Babu expressed his pride and excitement for Gautam’s future, while Namrata offered him some motherly advice, marking yet another milestone in their journey as a family.

As Sitara and Gautam prepare to carve their own paths in the world of cinema, with the support of their parents and the admiration of their fans, it’s clear that the next generation of the Ghattamaneni family is ready to take the stage and continue the legacy with the same grace and success that Mahesh Babu has achieved.
