Mohan Babu Shares The Secret Behind His Success

As we indulged in an authentic Andhra-style meal at his home, we enjoyed it in complete silence. That’s how Mohan Babu prefers it. “No talking while eating,” he insists. Curious about his journey, we asked him, What does he believe has led him from being born in a village to becoming a beloved superstar with fans across the country and even the world? Was it hard work, destiny, or pure luck? With complete humility, Mohan Babu shared that it has been his hard work, sincerity, and above all, the blessings of the Almighty.

He firmly believes that everything that has happened in his life is pre-decided by God. Mohan Babu is still working, acting in movies, and producing them, and we were definitely curious to know what keeps him going to this day.

These Are His Two Weaknesses

During the heart-to-heart, he also opened up about two personal traits he considers his weaknesses. One is his straightforwardness, and the other, his short temper.

Well, when it comes to being straightforward, that is something he is okay with and doesn’t want to change. However, his short temper is something that he has actively worked on and has managed to improve to some extent.
