MUMBAI: Telugu superstar Mahesh Babu has opened up about his personal life in a short video in which he has called himself "shy and sensitive".

The video, which he posted on Instagram on Saturday, has him answering some "interesting questions".

In the video, Mahesh says he believes in progress and the "reason for my being is my family".

Then he is asked whether he is tough or sensitive. He picks: "Sensitive."

Out of shy or extrovert, he chose "Shy".

Asked about the one actor who inspires him, the son of actor Krishna said: "My father."

As for movies, the actor, known for movies such as "Arjun", "Pokiri" and "Businessman", likes movies meant for both -- masses and classes.
