Gautam wrote, “Happy birthday Amma!! Missing you already. @namratashirodkar.” Reacting to the post, Namrata commented, “Love you so so much.”

Sitara shared a video featuring herself, Namrata, and Gautam. The clip featured old as well as new photos of the trio on vacations–inside a flight, roaming the streets, enjoying ice cream. Sitara said, “Happy birthday Amma. You’re my northern star, my rock & my best friend. I hope this birthday is just as incredible as you are. Love you, always and forever!” Namrata responded with, “Love you so so much.”

Last year, in an interview with the Telugu YouTube channel, Prema the journalist, Namrata opened up about her career and why she didn’t pursue acting post-marriage. “Mahesh was very clear that he wanted a non-working wife. Even if I was working in some office, he would have told me to leave work. There are certain things we had for each other.”

Namrata’s last appearance was in the 2004 Hindi film, Insaaf: The Justice. She was also seen in Gurinder Chadha’s Bride and Prejudice the same year. Namrata and Mahesh married in February 2005.

Mahesh Babu was last seen in the Telugu action drama film Sarkaru Vaari Paata which was declared a super hit. Apart from that, he will be teaming up with director SS Rajamouli for an upcoming action entertainer film. This movie will roll after Mahesh Babu is done with Trivikram Srinivas’ upcoming movie.
