Telugu superstar Mahesh Babu's daughter Sitara Ghattamaneni seems to be keen on following her father's footsteps and has taken the first step in the world of acting. The young star kid recently did an ad film for a jewellery brand. Reportedly, she gave away the first salary that she earned from the commercial to a charity.
Along with the preview of a short film titled 'Princess' for a jewellery brand in which she had acted, Sitara also launched the lookbook for a collection named after her at a five-star hotel in Hyderabad, along with her mother Namrata Ghattamaneni.
At the launch, the teenager also interacted with the media. She said she liked to see movies and was very interested in acting in them, and that she had acquired her confidence from her mother. She said her father was very happy to see the signature jewellery collection being launched at Times Square, New York, and got emotional when he saw the advertising video.
Last week, Sitara made her debut on Times Square Billboard, and Mahesh shared an adorable post for his baby girl on Instagram. He wrote, "Lighting up the Times Square!! So so proud of you, my firecracker. Continue to dazzle and shine!"
Sitara has been garnering a lot of attention for her dance videos that she posts on her verified social media handle. She also performed in the promotional song for Mahesh's film 'Sarkaru Vaari Paata', which received a positive response.
Namrata, meanwhile, said that they are all up for Sitara's choice of having a career in the movies. However, Namrata stated it was too early to discuss Sitara's entry into films or the type of movies she would do. She also added that their son Gautham might enter films, but is at present engaged in his higher studies.
Apart from his family life, Mahesh Babu has established himself as a versatile and accomplished actor in the South Indian film industry. With his captivating performances and charismatic screen presence, he has garnered a massive fan following. His choice of diverse roles and his ability to effortlessly portray a wide range of emotions have earned him critical acclaim and numerous accolades.

The actor actively participates in charitable activities and strives to make a positive impact on society. His humility and down-to-earth nature have made him a beloved figure among fans and colleagues alike.
