Superstar Mahesh Babu has shared a sweet birthday message for his son Gautam Ghattamaneni, who turned 20 on August 31. The actor celebrated the special day with a warm social media post and expressed how proud he is of his son.

Mahesh Babu posted a lovely picture with Gautam. In the photo, the father and son can be seen enjoying a peaceful walk surrounded by greenery and flowers. The simple picture quickly caught the attention of fans on social media.

Along with the picture, Mahesh wrote a heartfelt message for Gautam. He wished him a happy 20th birthday and encouraged him to enter this new stage of life with confidence. He also told his son to follow his dreams while staying kind and brave.

The post received many loving comments from fans. Several fans spoke about the strong bond between Mahesh and Gautam. Some even compared the father-son duo to a lion and its cub. The comments were filled with birthday wishes and heart emojis.

Mahesh has always shared special moments with his children on social media. Last year, he also wished Gautam on his 19th birthday with a childhood picture. At that time, he spoke about how much he missed being with his son on his birthday and said that he would always support him.

Gautam is Mahesh Babu and Namrata Shirodkar’s elder child. He has shown interest in the performing arts and is pursuing a drama course at New York University. Gautam had already appeared on screen as a child artist. He played the younger version of Mahesh Babu’s character in the 2014 film 1: Nenokkadine.

While Gautam is focusing on his studies and future, Mahesh Babu continues to be busy with his film career. He is currently working on Varanasi, directed by SS Rajamouli. The much-awaited project features Mahesh Babu alongside Priyanka Chopra and Prithviraj Sukumaran.

For Gautam’s 20th birthday, Mahesh’s simple and emotional message shows the special bond between a father and his son. His words also highlight an important message for Gautam to follow his dreams, stay courageous and remain kind while moving forward in life.
