The young star Sitara Ghattamaneni, daughter of renowned actor Mahesh Babu and former Miss India Namrata Shirodkar, recently opened up about the challenges and excitement of living up to her illustrious family’s legacy. In an insightful interview with iDream Media, the 12-year-old shared her thoughts on possibly following in the footsteps of her famous parents and grandfather, the legendary actor Krishna.
Sitara, who has already made her mark in the modeling world with her debut for the jewelry brand PMJ last year, expressed her interest in both acting and modeling. However, she emphasized that she is still exploring her options and has not made any final decisions about her future career. “It feels really good to be able to carry this legacy forward. It feels great to be part of this wonderful family,” she said, reflecting on the pressure and pride that comes with her family name.
The budding star also shared a heartwarming story about her father’s reaction to her modeling debut. Mahesh Babu, known for his on-screen charisma and off-screen humility, was moved to tears upon seeing Sitara’s performance. “Nanna pampers me a lot. I remember when he first saw my PMJ ad, he was going to cry,” Sitara recounted, highlighting the close bond she shares with her father.
In addition to her modeling endeavors, Sitara revealed that both she and her brother Gautham are receiving training in acting. While Gautham is pursuing a four-year drama course at New York University, Sitara is honing her skills in Hyderabad. This training could potentially set the stage for their future in the entertainment industry.
