Namrata's Real Dream

Namrata's dream wasn't cinema. She wanted to be an air hostess and even tried for it. But her mother discouraged her due to the frequency of plane crashes then. Namrata, unable to make independent decisions, gave up her dream. She revealed this in an interview with Sakshi TV.

No Mahesh if Namrata's dream came true

Namrata gave up her dream because of her mother. She became a model, then a heroine, and a star. If her mother had supported her dream, she would have become an air hostess. She wouldn't have entered films, met Mahesh Babu, or married him. Their Tollywood love story wouldn't exist.
