Upasana Konidela opens up about managing twins
Amid diapers and burp cloths, Upasana Konidela continues to feel calmer. Stepping into motherhood for the second time doesn’t feel chaotic, as she’s been there, done that. In an interview with Variety India, Upasana revealed that her husband, actor Ram Charan, has been a hands-on father, making things easier for her.

But this time, she feels more relaxed and grounded. “I’ve learned to let go of a lot, and now I don’t panic over the small things anymore,” says the entrepreneur, adding that managing twins is magical.
Watching her three kids together brings an extraordinary sense of fulfilment to Upasana. While she feels every moment is a learning experience, the mommy dearest admitted that her husband has been incredibly hands-on, especially with their elder daughter, Kaara. “They share such a special bond. For us, making sure each child feels equally loved and secure is what truly makes the difference,” expressed the mother.
Pregnancy is subjective. But Upasana didn’t feel the need to go on maternity leave before delivering her twins, a boy and a girl. She explained that in her line of work, there isn’t really a holiday. Hence, she’s wired that way. “I’m not sure whether to feel happy or conflicted about it. My work gives me purpose and happiness, and my children give me pure joy,” admitted Upasana.
She feels both her kids and business deserve attention and space to grow. Having said that, she is currently focusing on healing and slowly delivering her next hospital project. For her, life is all about creating a balance, and priorities shift with time. Over the years, she has learned to embrace that rhythm depending on what’s needed.
After the birth of their twin babies, the couple hosted their near and dear ones at a naming ceremony. At the intimate event, they named their son Shivram and their second daughter Anveera Devi.
