As the year 2025 drew to a close, former actor and model Namrata Shirodkar treated her followers to a heartfelt reflection on the past twelve months. Taking to Instagram on December 31st, she posted a beautiful Reel filled with previously unseen pictures, curating a visual memoir of cherished moments with her husband, superstar Mahesh Babu, their children Sitara and Gautam Ghattamaneni, and close friends, including global icon Priyanka Chopra.

 'The Year That Was': A Montage of Family, Festivals, and Friends

Titled with the simple, poignant phrase, "The year that was..." and adorned with red heart emojis, Namrata's Reel perfectly summarized a year packed with private joys and public appearances. The video featured numerous candid moments from the Ghattamaneni family's travels, showcasing relaxing family vacations in beautiful destinations like Sri Lanka and other spots around the world.

Beyond travel, the montage highlighted the family's deep connection to their cultural roots. Pictures from the Ganapati puja at their home were prominently featured, along with glimpses of them celebrating various other festivals together. These shots offered a warm, relatable look at the family’s life away from the glitz of the film industry. The Reel also included sweet, tender father-daughter moments, such as Mahesh Babu holding Sitara close and planting a gentle kiss on her head.

 Star-Studded Bonds: Priyanka Chopra and Sister Shilpa

The video also provided delightful evidence of Namrata’s strong friendships within and outside the industry. A cheerful selfie with her sister, actor Shilpa Shirodkar, and a friendly click with Rana Daggubati’s wife, Miheeka Bajaj, were among the personal highlights.

A particular point of interest for fans was the inclusion of fun pictures of Namrata and actor Priyanka Chopra posing together for the camera. This closeness is especially relevant as Priyanka Chopra is the co-star in Mahesh Babu's highly anticipated upcoming film, Varanasi. The shared images reflect a genuine friendship, adding a personal touch to their professional connection.

A Poignant Tribute and A Fresh Start

In a deeply emotional inclusion, Namrata paid tribute to a beloved member of their family who had recently passed away: their pet dog, Nobu. Including a picture of Nobu in the year-end recap served as a touching acknowledgment of the furry companion who held a special place in the family's hearts.

As the reflective Reel concluded, the family was already set for their next chapter. Just before the year officially ended, Mahesh Babu, Namrata, Sitara, and Gautam were spotted at the Hyderabad airport, jetting off for a relaxing New Year’s vacation. Sitara, catching the attention of the paparazzi, even mirrored her superstar father's relaxed, trademark style—dressed in a casual T-shirt and jeans, complete with sunglasses and a hat—proving that style and charisma run in the family.
