Trisha Opens Up About Feeling Undeserving Beside Mahesh Babu

Trisha Krishnan, who’s been a familiar face in South Indian films for nearly two decades, is currently working on multiple projects in both Tamil and Telugu. While promoting her upcoming films, she recently shared a moment from the past that’s now getting attention: her experience working with Superstar Mahesh Babu.

In a recent interview, Trisha spoke about Athadu, a 2005 film that was one of the big milestones in her career. She paired with Mahesh again in Sainikudu, but it was during these shoots that she felt a sense of guilt watching his discipline on set. According to her, Mahesh would arrive at 6 a.m., stay on set until night, and remain fully involved even when he wasn’t in the scene.

Trisha admitted that she would be ready to leave once her scenes were done, while Mahesh stayed back to observe everything. “He’s that committed,” she said. “Even if he didn’t have a scene, he’d be near the monitor, paying attention. Watching him made me feel like I wasn’t doing enough.”

Her honest take on sharing screen space with someone who focused struck a chord with many. It wasn’t about comparisons just a straightforward look at how some actors operate differently. For fans, it was a reminder of Mahesh’s work ethic and Trisha’s openness in calling it out without any filter.
