Namrata Shirodkar, former actress and wife of Tollywood superstar Mahesh Babu, is grieving the passing of her cherished family pet, a dog named Nobu. She shared the sad news with her followers on social media, expressing the deep void left in their lives.
An Emotional Farewell on Social Media
Shirodkar posted a poignant video tribute on her Instagram, set to melancholic music. The compilation featured several cherished photographs of Nobu integrated into the family's daily life. The video included moments showing her children, Gautam and Sitara Ghattamaneni, lovingly petting and hugging their furry companion. One touching frame captured a young Sitara in a warm embrace with Nobu.
Accompanying the visual homage, Namrata penned an emotional note. She referred to Nobu as their "first little big baby" and an irreplaceable member of their household. Her caption read, "We will miss you nobu. you will always be in our prayers u were our first little big baby and will always be … sending love and blessings to u."
Family Members Share Their Grief
The loss was felt deeply by all members of the Ghattamaneni family. Namrata's son, Gautam, also took to social media to honor Nobu's memory. He shared a series of personal photos with their departed pet, simply captioning the post, "Love you Nobu," which echoed the family's collective sorrow.
This is not the first time the family has experienced the pain of losing a pet. Back in 2013, they mourned the death of their dog, Pluto. At that time, Namrata had shared a similarly heartfelt post, vowing that Pluto would live forever in their hearts. Both Mahesh Babu and daughter Sitara had also expressed their grief publicly, highlighting the close bond the family shares with their animal companions.
