Sitara Ghattamaneni, daughter of Telugu superstar Mahesh Babu, recently shared a heartfelt post after meeting model and Chanel ambassador Bhavitha Mandava, calling her one of her “biggest heroes.”
The young celebrity shared cheerful photos with Bhavitha on social media and praised the model for her kindness, intelligence, and inspiring journey in the global fashion industry.
In her post, Sitara described Bhavitha as the “ultimate Chanel girl” and said their conversation about fashion, dreams, and life left a strong impression on her.
She also highlighted that beyond Bhavitha’s international success and glamorous image, what stood out most was her warmth and humility.
The interaction has gained attention online at a time when Bhavitha Mandava remains one of the most discussed Indian personalities in fashion following her appearance at the Met Gala 2026.
Bhavitha recently made history as Chanel’s first Indian house ambassador and drew major global attention during her Met Gala debut in New York. Her appearance sparked widespread discussion online after many viewers initially believed she wore a simple denim-inspired outfit to fashion’s biggest night.
However, Chanel later clarified that the look was a couture creation crafted from silk muslin using trompe-l’œil techniques designed to resemble denim. According to reports, the outfit required more than 250 hours of detailed handwork.
The fashion house also revealed that the design symbolized Bhavitha’s personal journey, recreating the style she wore when she was first discovered on a New York subway platform before becoming an international model.
Sitara’s admiration for Bhavitha reflects the growing influence of young Indian fashion icons who are reshaping global representation through storytelling, culture, and individuality.
Bhavitha Mandava, originally from Hyderabad, reportedly moved to New York for higher studies before entering the international fashion industry and eventually becoming associated with Chanel.
Sitara concluded her message by encouraging Bhavitha to aim even higher, further fueling appreciation among fans who praised the supportive exchange between the two rising public figures.
