Telugu Industry lost one of the most GIFTED, COMPLETE, and the most HANDSOME actors IT ever had. I doubt we will eversee an actor like Shoban Babu again in Industry. I was 7yrs old boy when my aunt took me to Shoban Babu movie, Kartheeka Deepam. It was my first Shoban babu movie(as far as I remember) and I never forget the rolle-caster emotions my aunt had gone through watching that movie. I didn't know that movies can make deep connection with the people(remember I was still kid) While watching that movie my aunt has gone through all kinds of emotions..laughter, joy, sorrow,pain. I never seen my aunt go thorough all these emotions in 2hrs - it is all because of Shobhan babu and the Chemistry he had with actresses.

After that movie, I almost watched all the movies of Shoban Babu, and liked the comedy timings, the dialogue delivery and ofcourse the chemistry he had with actresses. To me, Watching Shoban babu on the screen is the most exciting thing ladies looked for in their lives. ANR,NTR, Krishnha they all had it, but Shoban babu was in different league when it comes to ladies movies. Almost all of his movies are all well received by ladies, and because of that connection that they feel while watching him on the screen, I feel that Ladies would greatly miss him. My aunt used to joke that she wouldn't mind being second wife to him in real life, such is the feelings they had for him and the connection they felt watching movies.

Thank you Shoban Babu for giving us unforgettable experiences and memories, and may your soul rest in peace and be unite with GOD.
