Upasana Kamineni Konidela is expecting her first child with her husband Ram Charan. The couple is set to embrace parenthood after completing 10 years of marriage. In an interview with a human interest portal, the philanthropist opened up about her decision to become a mother when she was ready for it and how societal pressure didn't bother her and Ram Charan.
In the interview, Upasana said, "I am very, very excited and also very proud that I chose to become a mother when we wanted to, not when society wanted to. So, 10 years after our marriage, we have taken a call to have a kid now and I think it’s the best time because both of us are booming, both of us are financially secure and we can take care of our kids by ourselves."
She further told, "It was our mutual decision. As a couple, we didn’t let pressure hit us, whether it is from the society outside, our family or outsiders. Which says a lot about our relationship and how we are going to bring up our child as well."
In an interview, Upasana said the baby's delivery is scheduled to take place in India. Amid rumours of welcoming the child in the US, she clarified, "I am thrilled to have our first baby delivered in our home country - India, surrounded by a world-class medical OB/GYN team at The Apollo Hospitals, including Dr Sumana Manohar, Dr Rooma Sinha and now Dr Jennifer Ashton from the Good Morning America Show. This journey holds many exciting experiences for us and we look forward to this new phase in our lives with great anticipation."
