She revealed that she had actually known him even before they stepped into the limelight as actors. She shared that they used to go to the same college in Chennai. "When he was a college student in Chennai, we had common friends. That's how we first met. It was a simple 'hi-bye' kind of friendship then. None of us knew we'd end up working in films together", she said. Their casual acquaintance eventually turned into a professional relationship when they teamed up on film sets. But it was during this time that Trisha realised just how committed and hardworking Mahesh Babu truly was. "Mahesh is a hard worker," she shared. "He would be on the set from early morning until 10 at night. I genuinely felt bad after watching his dedication." She also mentioned that she never saw the 'Guntur Kaaram' actor go back to his caravan. Even if he's not part of the scene which is being done by other actors he would sit by the monitor, watch and learn. On the current work front, Trisha's latest film 'Thug Life' starring has been performing poorly at the box office.
