The 106-year-old, travelled 440 km, reached Hyderabad only to meet him and overwhelmed by this, he took to social media to share his happiness.

“It's amazing how love transcends through ages... Humbled to see & feel that kind of love coming from someone generations apart from mine,” Mahesh Babu wrote in his Instagram post.

“Glad I could make her happy but in all honesty, I am happier than her. God bless her!” he added.
