Namrata became Miss India in 1993 and made her Bollywood debut with Salman Khan’s Jab Pyaar Kisise Hota Hai. She met Mahesh Babu on the sets of her Telugu debut film Vamsi. In a recent interview, Mahesh called Vamsi a ‘disaster’ but stated that the film remains special for him because he met Namrata, “we fell in love on the sets and started seeing each other.” The two got married in 2005, after dating each other for five years.
“He was so endearing when I met him. Vulnerable, innocent and polite. You don’t find men like that (anymore). I was ready to marry him after two years of dating him. But we had a baggage of films to complete before we could tie the knot,” Namrata told Hello Magazine. Namrata left the film industry after she got married.
Mahesh Babu is looking forward to the release of Sarkaru Vaari Paata. He will be seen in Trivikram and SS Rajamouli’s next.
