Actor Mahesh Babu has recently revealed the heartwarming story behind how his daughter, Sitara Ghattamaneni, got her name. The moment was shared as part of a new commercial for the jewellery brand PMJ, in which both Mahesh and Sitara appear. In the advertisement, the actor is seen walking through a corridor adorned with photos of memorable moments with his daughter.
Mahesh Babu says, “When a daughter is born, they say Mahalakshmi has come to your home. When we saw the sparkle in her eyes, we named her Sitara.” The ad ends on a touching note with Mahesh calling Sitara his “princess” and playfully teasing her while expressing his affection.
Public and Family Reactions
The advertisement garnered positive responses across social media. Mahesh's wife, Namrata Shirodkar, reacted with several heart and heart-eye emojis in the comment section of the video. Fans were also quick to praise the father-daughter chemistry in the video. One comment read, “Chala bagundi, cute ga undi, father and daughter bonding,” while another humorously questioned Mahesh’s youthful appearance, asking if he was 49 or 19 years old.
This isn’t the first time Mahesh and Sitara have shared screen space. The duo had previously appeared together in a commercial for Reliance Trends, where Sitara introduced her father to Gen Z terminology, again highlighting their fun and close relationship.
Sitara’s Budding Presence in the Industry
Sitara, born on July 20, 2012, has already built a modest profile in the entertainment world. She appeared in the song “Penny” from Mahesh’s 2022 film Sarkaru Vaari Paata and also voiced Baby Elsa in the Telugu version of Disney’s Frozen 2. She has received training in both Kuchipudi and ballet, showcasing her talent beyond the screen. Recently, Sitara made headlines by donating her first earnings—reportedly ₹1 crore—to charity, reflecting a socially conscious mindset at a young age.
Her mother, Namrata, spoke about Sitara’s upcoming entry into films during an interview with Pinkvilla. Namrata stated, “There’s a lot of excitement at home,” hinting at the careful planning behind Sitara’s potential debut. While no details about the project have been confirmed, she emphasized the family's full support, saying, “She’s ready to take on this journey, and we’re all here to guide her.”
Mahesh Babu’s ED Summons
Meanwhile, Mahesh Babu is currently engaged in the filming of his upcoming project, tentatively titled SSMB 29, directed by S. S. Rajamouli. The film also stars Priyanka Chopra and Prithviraj Sukumaran.
Amid his professional commitments, Mahesh Babu has also been summoned by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in connection with an ongoing investigation into alleged money laundering. The case involves two Hyderabad-based real estate companies, one of which had Mahesh as a brand ambassador. The actor had previously appeared in promotional material for the company alongside his family, including Sitara and Namrata.
