Actor Ram Charan is awaiting the release of his upcoming film Peddi and is busy promoting it. In a recent interview, he opened up about fatherhood, revealing that he is a hands-on parent while joking that his wife, Upasana Konidela, is the “boss” at home.
Ram Charan talks about his bond with his children and said, “I don’t know if I can talk about myself being a good father or a normal one, but I am hands-on. I feed them, put them to sleep. Kaara sleeps with me almost every night; I do what any other father does, except diaper changing. I slip out of the room quietly when that happens.”
He also spoke about his relationship with his wife and said, “Upasana, in general, is the boss at home; we are taught to say this. Everything is quite spontaneous with us; an actor’s life is very spontaneous – you don’t know where you are, how late you are working, or when you are waking up. It’s difficult to design and live a life in a house with parents or with your spouse. There is a lot of adjustment that goes behind it.”
Ram and Upasana were schoolmates but lost touch after school, only to reconnect years later in Hyderabad. They became friends and eventually started dating before getting engaged in December 2011. The couple tied the knot in a star-studded wedding ceremony in Hyderabad in June 2012.
Their daughter, Klin Kaara, was born in June 2023. In January 2026, Ram and Upasana welcomed twins, a baby boy and a baby girl, and named them Shiva Ram Konidela and Anveera Devi Konidela.
Ram is awaiting the release of Peddi, a sports action drama that follows a man from Vizianagaram who is hailed as a “crossover athlete” for competing in cricket, traditional wrestling and sprinting. The film is scheduled to release in theatres on June 4, 2026.
