Mahesh Babu and Namrata Shirodkar celebrate daughter Sitara turning 13 with heartwarming Instagram photos.

When Sitara Ghattamaneni turned 13 this weekend, her parents made sure the internet knew just how proud they are. Telugu superstar Mahesh Babu took to Instagram with a throwback Christmas photo of himself and Sitara bundled up in cosy winter gear, her goofy pose and his warm smile capturing their unfiltered bond.

“And just like that… she’s a teenager! 🌟 Happy birthday @sitaraghattamaneni. Always lighting up my life. Love you so much ❤️,” he wrote, marking the milestone with heartfelt pride.

Priyanka Chopra also reacted to the photo and wrote, “Happy birthday sitara.”

Not far behind, mom Namrata Shirodkar posted an emotional photo carousel. Her first photo featured baby Sitara in a sweet pink dress. She captioned it, “You had me wrapped around your tiny fingers from day one…”. The second captured a radiant teenage Sitara lying in bed, prompting Namrata to note, “That sweet smile only got brighter with time.” The next saw her write, “Graceful, grounded, growing beautifully inside and out.” In another shot, she praised Sitara’s confident spirit: “Now suddenly you’re this confident, strong, young girl, and I’m just in awe.” Her final shared frame showed the pair together, wishing her, “Happy Birthday, my love!” The post concluded with a moving note: “No matter how big you get, you’ll always be the little hand that first held mine and changed my world forever…Happy Birthday @sitaraghattamaneni I love you.”

Brother Gautam Ghattamaneni also joined the chorus, sharing a fun collage of moments with Sitara. “To the one who makes life more fun! Happy Birthday @sitaraghattamaneni ❤️ Love you… 🤗,” he captioned.

Mahesh and Namrata have been a loving duo since their 2005 wedding. They welcomed Gautam in 2006, followed by Sitara’s arrival in 2012.

Sitara Ghattamaneni, daughter of Telugu superstar Mahesh Babu and former actor Namrata Shirodkar, has been in the spotlight from a young age. Known for her charming personality and frequent appearances on her parents’ social media, Sitara has grown up in front of the camera while still maintaining a low-key public presence. In recent years, she’s garnered a fan base of her own, especially after featuring in a few brand campaigns and dance videos.
