Mahesh Babu Pens Heartfelt Note for Gautam’s 19th Birthday

Plus, he promised to always be his biggest cheerleader, telling him to keep shining and growing. Along with the message, he shared a nostalgic photo from when Gautam was a kid just sitting on a bollard while Mahesh kept a protective eye on him. It’s such a sweet throwback that shows their close bond.
Gautam, Earning His Place, Not Inheriting It
Gautam is not one of the kids who is living off his parents and waiting for nepotism to knock at his door one day. He’s studying acting at New York University and has been interested in films since he was little. Fun fact, he started his career way back in 2014, playing the younger version of Mahesh’s character in, Nenokkadine. Since then, he’s been working hard to follow his own path in the film world, with his parents standing next to him as strong as a pillar.
What really is sweet about Mahesh’s message is that feeling any parent gets, the bittersweet mix of watching your kid grow up, be their own person, and chase their dreams, sometimes from afar. It’s clear their father-son bond runs deep, no matter the distance.
So as Gautam keeps paving his way in acting, it’s obvious he’s got all the love and support from his dad. Mahesh’s words remind us that no matter where life takes you, family love is what truly keeps you going.
