Mahesh Babu is one of the biggest stars in Telugu cinema, and his wife Namrata Shirodkar is well-known in Bollywood in addition to being a former beauty queen. However, since being married, the actress has not made an appearance in a major motion picture. The actress admitted in an interview that she decided against taking on any acting roles since her fiancé-husband made it obvious that he didn't want a working wife.
Former actress Namrata Shirodkar claimed in a recent interview that she and Mahesh Babu had clear goals for their post-marriage relationship. While she declined to live in a bungalow as she was used to living in an apartment in Mumbai, he was certain he wanted a housewife. “Mahesh Babu was very clear that he wanted a non-working wife. Even if I was working in some office, he would have told me to leave work”, said Namrata.
“There are certain things we had for each other. We were very clear that we will live in an apartment first after marriage because I was from Mumbai and I didn't know how I would fit into these huge bungalows. I used to get scared, so he moved into an apartment with me. That was my condition that if I'm going to come to Hyderabad I will live in an apartment. Similarly, he was also clear that he didn't want me to work”, she continued.
She added, “It is also the reason why we took some time so that I finish shooting for all my films. When we got married, I had no work. I wrapped up all my pending movies. We were clear. There was a lot of clarity among us."
The actress also admitted during the interview that she has no future ambitions to resume acting. She insisted that she lacks the patience to travel far from home and work on a movie set.
