Actor
Mahesh
Babu's
father,
superstar
Krishna,
passed
away
on
November
15,
leaving
behind
a
rich
legacy.
The
actor
was
79.
He
acted
in
over
350
films
and
was
one
of
the
most
celebrated
stars
in
the
Telugu
film
industry.
Krishna
was
cremated
with
full
state
honours.
Meanwhile,
the
year
has
been
disastrous
for
Mahesh
Babu
and
his
family
personally.
He
lost
his
elder
brother,
Ramesh
Babu,
early
this
year;
his
mother,
Indira
Devi,
died
in
September;
and
now,
he
has
lost
his
father,
Krishna,
all
in
the
span
of
a
few
months.
And
now,
days
after
superstar
Krishna's
demise,
Mahesh
Babu
took
to
social
media
and
shared
an
emotional
note
for
his
late
father.
Along
with
the
note,
he
also
posted
an
old
black-and-white
picture
of
Krishna.
He
wrote,
"Your
life
was
celebrated...
your
passing
is
being
celebrated
even
more.
Such
is
your
greatness.
You
lived
your
life
fearlessly.
Daring
and
dashing
was
your
nature.
My
inspiration,
my
courage,
and
all
that
I
looked
up
to
and
all
that
really
mattered
are
gone
just
like
that.
But
strangely,
I
feel
this
strength
in
me
which
I
never
really
felt
before...
Now
I'm
fearless.
Your
light
will
shine
in
me
forever.
I
will
carry
your
legacy
forward.
I
will
make
you
even
more
proud.
Love
you
Nanna..
My
Superstar."
