During the interview, Ram Charan made a candid revelation about his and Upasana's grounded approach to celebrating special occasions. He said, "She'll gift me anything. She'll gift me a coffee mug, chappals, or make a nice cake. That'll be a gift also. And we do not really exchange any expensive gifts. We do not believe in that. We believe in small things which matter." The actor shared the sentiment behind the gifts rather than their monetary value.
A look back at Ram Charan and Upasana's love story
Ram Charan and Upasana first met each other during their college days. Initially, they were college friends, but their bond gradually transformed into a deeper relationship. They shared similar outlooks on life, and little did they know that this friendship would pave the way for something more profound.
However, destiny had other plans for them. While Ram was a popular actor, Upasana was a philanthropist and entrepreneur. During the shooting of Ram’s film Magadheera, he realized how much he missed Upasana. His feelings for her had changed, and it was after the film’s release that they officially started dating.
Ram Charan and Upasana tied the knot in June 2012, embracing parenthood after 11 years of marriage. The couple welcomed their first child on June 20, 2023.
Currently, the actor is gearing up for the release of his film action/thriller film, Game Changer. The movie also stars Kiara Advani as the main lead.
