Former actor and model Namrata Shirodkar took a nostalgic trip down memory lane as she bid farewell to 2025. On December 31, Namrata shared a heartfelt Instagram Reel filled with unseen pictures and videos, capturing special moments spent with her family, close friends and loved ones throughout the year.
Captioning the post, Namrata wrote, “The year that was…” followed by red heart emojis. On the Reel, she added, “& with that…the 2025 season comes to an end,” perfectly summing up the emotions behind the montage. The video offered fans an intimate glimpse into her life, highlighting cherished family vacations, festive celebrations and quiet moments of togetherness.
Several clips showcased memorable trips with husband Mahesh Babu and their children, Sitara and Gautam Ghattamaneni, including vacations in Sri Lanka and other destinations. The Reel also featured warm moments from Ganapati puja celebrations at home, along with glimpses of other festivals celebrated as a family. One particularly touching sequence showed Mahesh holding Sitara close and planting a gentle kiss on her head, reflecting their strong bond.
Namrata also included personal moments with her extended family and friends. A selfie with her sister, actor Shilpa Shirodkar, made its way into the Reel, along with a cheerful picture featuring Rana Daggubati’s wife, Miheeka Bajaj. Fans were delighted to spot fun photos of Namrata posing alongside actor Priyanka Chopra, highlighting their close friendship. Christmas celebrations with loved ones added a festive touch to the video.
In a deeply emotional moment, Namrata paid tribute to their beloved pet dog, Nobu, who passed away recently. Including Nobu’s picture in the Reel, she subtly honoured the furry family member who clearly held a special place in their lives.
Just days earlier, Mahesh Babu, Namrata, Sitara and Gautam were spotted at the Hyderabad airport as they left the city to ring in the New Year together on a relaxing vacation. Sitara caught attention for mirroring her father’s signature style, sporting a casual T-shirt, jeans, sunglasses and a hat.
On the professional front, Mahesh Babu began shooting for SS Rajamouli’s much-anticipated film Varanasi in early 2025, following the release of Guntur Kaaram. The project, officially announced at a grand event in November at Ramoji Film City, Hyderabad, also stars Priyanka Chopra and Prithviraj Sukumaran and is slated for a Sankranthi 2027 release.
As Namrata’s Reel beautifully shows, 2025 was a year filled with love, memories and meaningful moments—one she clearly holds close to her heart.
