‘I Ran Nearly 5 km!’: When Mahesh Babu Revealed the Snake Scare That Made Him Quit Morning Walks

A throwback clip featuring Mahesh Babu has once again become a talking point on social media, with fans revisiting one of the actor’s funniest real-life stories.

During his appearance on Unstoppable with NBK, hosted by Nandamuri Balakrishna, the Telugu superstar shared a humorous incident involving a snake at Kasu Brahmananda Reddy (KBR) National Park in Hyderabad—an experience that made him stop going there for his morning walks.

The Unexpected Snake Encounter

Recalling the incident, Mahesh Babu said he was a regular visitor to KBR Park, where he often went for fitness walks.

According to the actor, he had nearly completed his walk and was about to leave when he noticed something moving on the ground. Curious to find out what it was, he walked a little closer.

To his surprise, it turned out to be a snake.

Mahesh revealed that the reptile suddenly lifted its head, leaving him startled. Without thinking twice, he immediately turned around and sprinted all the way back to the park’s entrance.

Laughing while narrating the incident, the actor joked that he ran nearly five kilometres and never returned to the park after that frightening experience.
