recovering
from
COVID-19,
Superstar
Mahesh
Babu
attended
the
11th-day
rituals
of
his
brother,
actor-producer
Ramesh
Babu,
who
passed
away
on
January
8
reportedly
due
to
liver-related
ailments.
According
to
reports,
he
visited
Ramesh's
residence
for
the
posthumous
ceremony
and
offered
his
prayers.
A
few
pictures
of
Mahesh
from
the
premises
have
already
gone
viral
on
social
media,
with
many
querying
if
he
has
tested
negative
for
COVID-19.
Notably,
the
Sarileru
Neekevvaru
star
has
not
yet
notified
fans
about
testing
negative.
In
the
pictures,
he
can
be
seen
attending
calls
and
taking
care
of
the
arrangements.
For
the
unversed,
the
actor
and
his
family
couldn't
attend
the
last
rites
of
his
brother
as
he
had
tested
positive
for
COVID-19
and
was
advised
of
home
isolation
around
that
time.
Upon
learning
about
his
beloved
brother's
demise,
Mahesh
Babu
had
taken
to
his
Twitter
handle
to
share
a
heartfelt
note,
wherein
he
wrote,
"You
have
been
my
inspiration,
You
have
been
my
strength.
You
have
been
my
courage.
You
have
been
my
everything.
If
not
for
you,
I
would
not
have
been
half
the
man
I
am
today.
Thank
you
for
everything
you've
done
for
me.
Now
just
rest..rest..
In
this
life
and
if
at
all
I
have
another,
you'll
always
be
my
'Annaya'.
Love
you
forever
and
ever
and
ever."
(sic)
Mahesh
Babu
tested
positive
on
January
6.
The
actor
had
even
issued
a
statement
regarding
his
diagnosis
that
read,
"To
all
my
fans
and
well-wishers.
Despite
taking
all
the
necessary
precautions,
I've
tested
positive
for
COVID-19
with
mild
symptoms.
I've
isolated
myself
at
home
and
have
been
following
medical
guidance.
Request
all
those
who
came
in
contact
with
me
to
get
themselves
tested.
I
urge
everyone
who's
not
taken
their
vaccination
to
do
so
immediately,
as
it
reduces
the
risk
of
severe
symptoms
and
hospitalization.
Please
follow
the
COVID
norms
and
stay
safe.
Can't
wait
to
be
back.
Love,
Mahesh
Babu."
