Mahesh Babu playfully shows off his passport
In a video posted by a paparazzo photographer on Instagram, Mahesh can be seen dressed in a casual shirt, T-shirt, pants, and hat as he makes his way through the airport with Sitara. When he spots the photographers, he flashes his passport with a large smile, making his daughter crack up.

In the comments, one fan hilariously called him ‘Naughty Babu’ while another wrote, “Babu Showing Passport is Epic.”
The inside joke about Mahesh Babu’s passport
Mahesh is known for taking breaks from shooting and flying out of the country to spend quality time with his family. He has often spoken about this in interviews, stating that his family is important to him and that he takes these breaks to ensure a semblance of normalcy. When his film with SS Rajamouli went on floors in January this year, the director posted an AI-generated video joking that he had taken away Mahesh’s passport and ‘captured’ him. Mahesh had replied, “Okkasaari commit ayithe naa maata nene vinanu (I don’t listen to myself once I commit).”
