The couple met on the sets of the Telugu movie, 'Vamsi'.
Namrata says, "We began seeing each other about a year after 'Vamsi'. I was shuttling between Mumbai and Hyderabad. I had started doing far less work in order to spend time with Mahesh."
The couple dated for five years before they got married.
"He is level headed and has no trappings of a star. I've been a first-hand witness to how real he can be. He's loving, caring and understanding. He believes in family values as strongly as I do. He's very shy. We clicked together because in many ways he's quite like me. And he's good looking," Namrata flaunts her thoughts of him.
The couple tied the knot on February 10, 2005.
Namrata on life after marriage: "I've put on weight. I was never career-driven. Now when I'm married to a superstar, I'm just happy being part of my husband's success. Marriage has sobered me down. Not that I was ever wild."
They have a son, Gautham.
Namrata on fans of Mahesh Babu: "He has a huge female fan following. But I feel really secure with him. No doubt his fan following is huge. Girls are crazy about him. They call on my number asking if they could talk to him. I've stopped answering strange numbers."
Namrata gifted a Range Rover Vogue to Mahesh Babu on his 36th birthday.
Their relationship was only once plagued by a break up rumour, which was quickly squashed by Mahesh and Namrata
They still remain one of the model couples of Tollywood.
