It's not easy for Mahesh Babu to stay put in his Hyderabad residence on his birthdays. "It is fans who make my birthday special. However, the volume of well-wishers gets overwhelming. So I like to be out of the country for most of my birthdays," he tells a news agency.

But then, of late, he can't be out of station on his birthdays. "However, of late I have been in Hyderabad for my birthdays as my son's school is open and we can't afford to let him miss classes for a birthday which in any case is like any other day," the 'Maharshi' star adds.

With "positive thinking, healthy eating, correct hours of sleep and a family to support you through all your dreams and nightmares", one can maintain physical fitness, the superstar observes.

"One has to make sure one is doing the right things and making the right moves so that the people around are happy and comfortable," he pontificates.
