Mahesh Babu's children celebrate Raksha Bandhan

Raksha Bandhan is a time of celebration in every Indian household, and superstar Mahesh Babu’s is no exception. Though the man of the house was away shooting, his kids celebrated the event with much enthusiasm.

Says the actor’s wife Namrata, “We take Raksha Bandhan very seriously in our home. The children have been taught its significance, and my son Gautam and daughter Sitara take the ceremonial aspect of it very seriously. Mahesh and I want them to grow up with a healthy regard for tradition and custom. Also, we feel that Raksha Bandhan is an occasion when the children get to feel closer to one another. Not that they aren't close otherwise. But when you celebrate a relationship, you add to its significance.”
