We all know him as Dr.Mohan Babu. He is a legend in the Telugu Film industry and also was known to be a close aid to ex Chief Minister of United Andhra Pradesh, NTR. He is also best friends with India’s Super Star Rajinikanth. But not everyone knows that his real name is Bhakta Vatsala Naidu.
So, how did he get that name? Usually actors change their names for movies to sound fancier. Know what Mohan Babu himself had to say about it. He explained this on the occasion of Maha Shivaratri today while wishing all the Telugu people to have a wonderful day today.
“Maha Shivaratri is a great day. It is a very important day for my family because for many years my parents were childless. One saint had suggested them to visit a nearby Shiv Mandir and pray for a child. Then they had 5 children and I was named after the Lord for his blessings. I pray you all receive his blessings too,” said Mohan Babu on the Twitter.
అడవిలో బత్తినీయస్వామి అని లింగాకారంలో ఉన్నటువంటి ఈశ్వరునికి మొక్కుకుంటే పిల్లలు పుడతారని. ఆ భగవంతుడిని దర్శించుకుని వచ్చారు, మా అమ్మకు ఐదుగురు సంతానం కలిగారు. అందుకనే నా పేరు భక్తవత్సలం అని పెట్టారు మా నాన్నగారు. ఆ తర్వాత సినిమా ఇండస్ట్రీకి వచ్చాక మోహన్ బాబుగా మారింది.
