Ram Charan’s wife Upasana Konidela says ‘marriage isn’t a bed of roses’, believes in ‘reviewing’ relationships every quarter: ‘No marriage is easy’

Emphasising that ‘marriage isn’t a bed of roses’, she continued, “We have our whole family around us, and our whole family is our support system, whether it’s his side or my side.” At her mother’s advice, Upasana said that she and Charan make sure to have a ‘date night’ with each other every week. “Managing our schedules so that we get adequate time with each other is so important. My mom used to tell us that once a week you have to have date night. It’s so important, and we try to do that as much as possible. Date night is at home, with no distractions like the TV or phones.”

Upasana said that she and Charan are ‘slowly trying to institutionalise’ this practice, and that they are having date nights more frequently. “If we have a problem with each other, we definitely talk about it. Communication is something that we are still building, and will continue to build till we die. These are things in a marriage that are accepted, but you have to work on them every day. You can’t give up. It’s like breathing.”

She said that every marriage has ‘its ups and downs’, and theirs is no different. “As long as you know what your goals are, and you have respect for each other, then it’s cool. We have respect for each other, so our marriage gets high marks.” Upasana said that a good way to address equations is to ‘review’ them every few months. “In business, you review your goals. Why don’t you do it with relationships? Every quarter, like you have board meetings, you need to have a meeting with yourself to understand what your personal goals are, what your family goals are, and what your business goals are,” she said.

Upasana and Ram Charan tied the knot in 2012, and welcomed their first child, daughter Klin Kaara, in 2023. Charan most recently starred in the film Game Changer, which tanked both critically and commercially. He’ll next be seen in Peddi.
