“My father was a Krishna fan even before coming to the industry. He had told me a lot about Krishna sir. To him, he was one of the most loved people. Krishna sir was humble and truthful. If he had to say anything to anyone’s face, he used to say nothing but the truth. He is known for this quality. The industry has a lot of love and respect for him.”

DSP shares the same equation with actor Mahesh Babu, just like their fathers. “I, of course, have a great rapport with Mahesh Babu. We worked together on a lot of films. But, to be honest, I didn’t expect anything like this at all. It happened all of a sudden. What can I say? It’s very upsetting and heartbreaking. The whole industry is at a standstill right now. He was one of the living legends we had. The whole era of greatness has come to an end now.”
