The Konidela family has good news to share. Ram Charan and his wife Upasana Konidela are expecting their first child. The news was shared by the parents-to-be on social media today. Ram and Upasana tied the knot in 2012.
Sharing the news, the Konidela family wrote in a statement, "With the blessings of Shri Hanuman Ji, we are delighted to share that Upasana and Ram Charan are expecting their first child. With love and gratitude-Surekha and Chiranjeevi Konidela, Shobana-Anil Kamineni."
In July this year, Upasana gave a befitting reply to those who kept questioning her about embracing motherhood. Talking to Sadhguru at the 17th ATA Convention and Youth Conference, she said, "I have been very happily married for 10 years now. I love my life, I love my family but why do people find it their duty to question my RRR." She went on to explain the meaning behind RRR and told, "RRR is my relationship, my ability to reproduce, and my role in my life. There are so many women like me who would want an answer to this."
When Sadhguru supported her and said, "If you stay this way, not reproducing, I am going to give you an award. I have already announced an award for all those young women, who are healthy and can reproduce but choose not to. This is the greatest service you can do right now. This is not an endangered species. We are just too many. We are heading towards 10 billion in the next 30-35 years. Man is worried about carbon footprint but if the human footprint is reduced, there is no need to worry about global warming too. So, it’s good to see women who chose to not reproduce."
Reacting to this, she told, "I would make you speak with my mother and mother-in-law very soon.”
Ram Charan is an actor whereas Upasana is an entrepreneur and philanthropist.
