Telugu superstar Mahesh Babu’s mother Indira Devi passed away on Wednesday. She was 70.

She was reportedly suffering from various age-related health issues and had been admitted to the AIG hospital (Asian Institute of Gastroenterology) in Hyderabad. She breathed her last at 4 am.

According to a statement issued by the actor’s family, Indira Devi’s mortal remains will be kept at Padmalaya Studios from 9 am to 12 pm for fans to pay their last respects. Her last rites will take place at Maha Prasthanam crematorium later in the day.


“Smt Ghattamaneni Indira Devi, wife of veteran actor Krishna and mother of Mahesh Babu passed away a short while ago. She had been suffering from illness for quite some time now. Her mortal remains will be kept at Padmalaya Studios for fans to visit at 9 am today and later the last rites will be performed at Maha Prasthanam," the statement read.

Fans flooded the social media to offer condolences to the ‘Maharshi’ actor. One fan tweeted, “May #indiramma garu soul rest in peace. Stay strong anna (brother) @urstulyMahesh, always with you, it’s hard to accept the truth thinking about the position of mahesh babu now.” Another fan wrote, “Everything may be replaceable except mom's love. So sad to hear about the demise of Mahesh Babu's mom. RIP Indira Devi garu. Stay Strong anna Mahesh Babu.”

2022 had been a year of personal losses for the ‘Pokiri’ star. Earlier this year, on January , his elder brother, actor-producer Ramesh Babu had passed away due to kidney-related complications. He was 56 years old. At the time, the ‘Bharat Ane Nenu’ actor had shared the news on Instagram with his fans. Posting a picture of his late brother, he wrote, “ You have been my inspiration. You have been my strength. You have been my courage. You have been my everything.“Thank you for everything you've done for me. Now just rest...rest… In this life and if at all I have another you’ll always be my 'Annaya' Love you forever and ever and ever.”
