Actor Mahesh Babu shared a heartfelt post on Instagram about his father Krishna who died last week. In the note, he said he would carry his legacy forward. Calling his father an inspiration, Mahesh also added that his life was celebrated and it’s been celebrated even more after his passing.
The actor mentioned that even though all that mattered to him is now gone, there’s strength in him that he never really felt before. The 79-year-old veteran passed away last week after he was hospitalised following a cardiac arrest. Krishna was popularly known as Telugu cinema’s first superstar.
Sharing an unseen picture of his father, Mahesh’s post read: “Your life was celebrated… your passing is being celebrated even more... Such is your greatness. You lived your life fearlessly… daring and dashing was your nature. My inspiration… my courage… and all that I looked up to and all that really mattered are gone just like that. But strangely, I feel this strength in me which I never really felt before... Now I’m fearless... Your light will shine in me forever... I will carry your legacy forward… I will make you even more proud… Love you Nanna.. My Superstar.”
The year 2022 has been a year of back-to-back blows for Mahesh Babu. He lost his brother at the beginning of the year. This was followed by his mother's demise very recently.
