Shilpa Shirodkar Praises Mahesh Babu's Kindness as She Eyes Potential Collaboration

In November 2025, actress Shilpa Shirodkar, who has been away from movies for a while, is making a comeback with the film 'Jatadhara.' During an interview to promote the movie, Shilpa opened up about her equation with her brother-in-law, superstar Mahesh Babu.

Shilpa described Mahesh as "one of the kindest souls" she has met, praising him for his humility and lack of malice or jealousy. As an actor, Shilpa said she is a fan of Mahesh's work. When asked if she had ever considered acting in one of his films, Shilpa smiled and said she hasn't crossed that path yet, but hinted at a potential future collaboration, saying "maybe if this film does well..."

Shilpa's sister, former actress Namrata Shirodkar, has been married to Mahesh Babu for two decades, and the couple has two children who have shown interest in acting. Shilpa Shirodkar had stepped away from films after 2000's 'Gaja Gamini' following her own marriage, but has since made her mark on television. She returned to films in 2020 with the Hindi action drama 'Guns of Banaras.'
