Ram-Upasana welcome babygirl: Signs that prove they'll be great parents
Ram Charan and his entrepreneur-wife Upasana Kamineni Konidela welcomed a baby girl on Tuesday (June 20). They became parents to their first child after 11 years of their marriage. Their daughter was born at the Apollo Hospital in Hyderabad; both mother and child are stable and recovering. Meanwhile, here are times when they shed light on how they want to raise their child.
On wanting their child to learn about transformation and self-respect
Recently, the couple received a handcrafted cradle through Prajwala Foundation, made by the survivors of sex trafficking. Sharing a glimpse of the cradle on her social media, Kamineni Konidela wrote how the "cradle holds immense significance, symbolizing strength, resilience, and hope." She added that it represented the "journey of transformation and self-respect" that she wants her "child to be exposed to from birth."
On raising their child in the presence of grandparents
Most couples these days prefer to move out from their parents' home when they have a baby. However, Charan and Kamineni Konidela have done the opposite. They've moved back with Charan's parents. She told the Times of India that they didn't want their child to be deprived of the joy of growing up with grandparents. "Having their support is extremely important," she added.
Upon giving unconditional love to their child
Often, couples have babies to carry forward their family's legacy or to strengthen their marriage. But, Charan and his wife planned a baby when they were emotionally prepared for it. "I chose to have a child when I was emotionally prepared to give unconditional love and care that my child deserves for his/her overall well-being," Kamineni Konidela had written in an Instagram post.
Making a fine balance between motherhood and career
Kamineni Konidela is a successful entrepreneur; she holds the post of Apollo Foundation's vice chairperson. She very well managed her pregnancy and career together. In an interview, she said, "I think pregnancy has to be a celebration and I have been enjoying this journey as you can see am jet-setting around the world and I'm trying to redefine it for myself."
