A recent cocktail party hosted by Allu Arjun in Hyderabad for his brother, Allu Sirish, and his fiancée Nayanika Reddy sparked unexpected online chatter for Ram Charan’s presence at the event while observing the sacred Ayyappa Deeksha.

Allu Sirish shared photos and videos of the cocktail party on Instagram.  In one of the videos, Ram Charan is seen alongside his wife Upasana Konidela. Dressed in black and wearing the Ayyappa mala, the actor’s appearance raised questions among some fans, as the spiritual vow traditionally requires strict discipline and abstinence from indulgences, including alcohol.

Responding to the speculation, Allu Sirish stepped in to clear the air. When a fan praised “Charan Swami” in the comments of a fan page post, Sirish clarified that the actor had arrived before any alcohol was served.

“Swami came before any of us touched alcohol. Wished us & left. Love his dedication to Lord Ayyappa!” he wrote.

Ram Charan’s commitment to Ayyappa Deeksha

For more than two decades, Ram Charan has consistently observed the Ayyappa Deeksha, a 41-day spiritual practice undertaken by devotees before visiting Kerala’s Sabarimala Temple.

During this period, followers adopt a lifestyle centred on simplicity and discipline. They wear black attire, walk barefoot, sleep on the floor, and follow a satvik vegetarian diet, avoiding onions, garlic, and alcohol. The vow also includes prayer, reflection, and mental restraint.
