Personal life

Sarath Babu was born as Sathyam Babu Dixithulu on 31 July 1951.^[1]^[2]

In April 2023, it was reported that Babu was suffering from a serious illness .^[3] He died on 3 May 2023, at the age of 71 in Hyderabad. However latest reports say that he still alive and recovering and is undergoing a treatement.^[4]^[5]

Career

Babu was reported to have said that

My dad was a hotelier, he wanted me to handle his business but I wanted to be a police officer. During college days, I developed shortsight and my dreams crashed as clear eyesight was a pre-requisite to join the police. People told my mother that her son was good looking and he should get into films. My lecturers in college said the same. All this played on my mind. My father was against it but my mother supported me. I knew in my heart that I would not fit into business. Even if I failed I could fall back on the family business, that is what I thought though I knew in my heart that I would not fit into business. I responded to an advertisement in the paper for fresh faces for a film and I got through the audition more easily than I had expected. My first break was in a Tamil film, directed by K. Balachander. The same was remade in Telugu as Idi Katha Kaadu, with me, Kamal Haasan and Chiranjeevi and the film was a hit.^[6]
