It’s been a double blow this week for Telugu superstar Mahesh Babu. Earlier last week he was diagnosed positive with the Covid virus. On Sunday Mahesh Babu lost his elder brother Ramesh Babu all of a sudden, leaving the actor unprepared and shell-shocked.

A close family member reveals, “Although Ramesh Babu had been ailing for some time no one in the family was prepared for such a sudden end. His death came as blow to the entire family. Mahesh who was very close to his brother is devastated. The fact that Mahesh could not attend his beloved brother’s last rites because of his Covid condition is making to worse for Mahesh.”

The family member reveals that Mahesh is mourning in isolation.

“Even if he wasn’t quarantined for Covid he would have liked to deal with his grief by himself. Mahesh doesn’t like to share his tears,” the family member signs off.
