Superstar Krishna's wife and Mahesh Babu's mother Ghattamaneni Indira Devi breathed her last earlier today. She was battling some health issues and had been undergoing treatment at a private hospital in Hyderabad. She passed away at 4 am but the news emerged only three hours later.

The mortal remains of Indira Devi will be kept at Padmalaya Studios from 9 am to 11 am so that fans, friends and relatives can pay their last respects. Later, the last rites will be held at Mahaprasthanam in Film Nagar.

Soon after the news became official, Megastar Chiranjeevi took to social media and extended his profound sympathies to Krishna and Mahesh Babu. "I am saddened to come to know of Indira Devi garu's demise," the 'Godfather' actor tweeted, describing the departed soul as a 'Maatru Devatha'.

The fans of the Krishna-Mahesh duo are saddened by the loss. The 'Sarkaru Vaari Paata' actor is vastly fond of his mother, making it a point to visit her before the release of every movie of his.
