A few days after veteran Telugu actor Krishna's death, his son and actor Mahesh Babu penned a heartfelt note expressing his unconditional love for his father.

His statement read, "Your life was celebrated. Your passing is being celebrated even more. Such is your greatness. You lived your life fearlessly. Daring and dashing were your nature. My inspiration, my courage and all that I looked up to and all that mattered are gone just like that. But strangely, I feel this strength in me which I never really felt before. Now I'm fearless. Your light will shine in me forever. I will carry your legacy forward. I will make you even more proud. Love you Nanna.. My Superstar." (sic)

The legendary actor passed away on November 15 at a private hospital in Hyderabad. He was 79. He is survived by his children Manjula, Padmavathi, Priyadarshini, and Mahesh Babu.
