Veteran actor Mohan Babu’s mother Manchu Lakshmamma breathed her last this morning at a private hospital in Tirupathi. She was apparently bedridden for the past 2 weeks and today (September 20) at the early hours of the morning, she succumbed to her illness.

Manchu's family members were in Singapore and upon hearing the news, they are immediately flying back. Her last rites will take place in Tirupathi tomorrow.

Mohan Babu's son Manoj Kumar Manchu took to his Twitter space to share a few words about his grandmother - "Maa Nanamma Lakshmamma garu Aa Devudi Dhagariki Vellipoyaru..  ... will miss u Forever Nanamma ... it’s heart breaking that we r not in the country now .. It was Unexpected... MAY HER SOUL REST IN PEACE"
