Love in filmdom often dazzles but fades fast; not so for Mahesh Babu and Namrata Shirodkar, whose 21-year marriage stands as a testament to commitment. Far from tabloid fodder, their story unfolded organically, capturing hearts with its sincerity.
Celebrating their milestone on February 10, Namrata shared a cherished plane photo on Instagram, captioning it poetically: ‘I choose you every day. Happy 21st Marriage Anniversary Mahesh Babu.’ The candid shot radiated warmth, resonating deeply with followers.
Well-wishers from the industry chimed in enthusiastically. Chunky Panday’s ‘Happy Anniversary’ note, Priyanka Chopra’s heart emojis, and Shilpa Shirodkar’s warm greetings lit up the comments. A cascade of fire and love symbols underscored the universal joy for the couple.
It all started on the 2000 ‘Vamsi’ set, where professional ties blossomed into romance. After four years of quiet dating, overcoming age gaps and family reservations, they married in 2005. Parents to Gautam and Sitara, they prioritize family amid Mahesh’s superstar status.
Looking ahead, Mahesh’s collaboration with SS Rajamouli on ‘Varanasi’ promises fireworks, featuring Priyanka Chopra in a bold avatar—yellow saree, gun poised—plus Prithviraj Sukumaran and Prakash Raj. Namrata’s tribute not only marks two decades but reaffirms a partnership built to last.
