Revealing to his fans that he did not get along with the idea of showing off his six pack abs, superstar Mahesh Babu said: “I am very shy to go shirtless and flaunt my body.” The ‘Nenokkadine’ star was speaking after launching UniverCell’s new store, ‘Sync’, on Ameerpet main road.

The usually bustling Ameerpet main road witnessed unusual chaos on Monday, as star-struck fans gathered in large numbers to catch a glimpse of their favourite hero, who was rarely seen in public events.

“I have been associated with the brand for the past five years, and it has been an extraordinary journey for both of us,” said the star, who is also the brand ambassador of the mobile outlet.

‘Not tech-savvy’

However, Mahesh confided that he was not tech-savvy or well-versed with the smartphone.

On his son’s debut in ‘Nenokkadine’, he said: “When I saw my son on screen for the first time, I felt happy the same way my father did when he saw me debuting.”

Describing his latest movie as a different treat, he said he was apprehensive initially but later on worked very hard for the role.

The ‘sync’ is divided into five segments, wherein various gadgets and accessories will be displayed in such a way that customers can experience the use of each of them.
