was
admitted
to
AIG
Hospitals
where
she
was
getting
life
support.
She
was

This

to
the

took
to
his

Notably,
Superstar
Krishna
and
Indira
got
married
in
the
year
1962.

that
is
how
they
ended
up
marrying

together
and

is

is
still
recovering
from
the

of

Babu
and
soon
this
happened.
Mahesh
Babu
is
said
to
be
very
close
to
his
mother
Indira
Devi
and
he
was
always
seen
taking
care
of
her
and
being
by
her
side
at
public
events
or
family
functions.

who

from
coming
out
in

after
the

of
his
second
wife
Vijaya
Nirmala
on
June
27,
2019,
with
whom
he
lived
most
of
his

to
have
become

and
sad
due
