The “Mega Family” just got a lot bigger. In a heart-melting announcement that has ignited celebrations across the globe, Global Star Ram Charan and his wife, entrepreneur Upasana Kamineni Konidela, have welcomed twins. The couple is now proud parents to a healthy baby boy and a baby girl.
The news broke through the official social media handles of the actor’s father and the undisputed Megastar of Indian cinema, Chiranjeevi. The legendary actor expressed his immense gratitude and joy, welcoming the new additions to the Konidela-Kamineni lineage.
The announcement came early this morning, sending fans into a digital frenzy. Chiranjeevi, who often shares intimate family milestones with his followers, took to X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram to share the news.
“With immense joy and gratitude, we announce the arrival of Ram Charan and Upasana’s twins—a precious baby boy and a lovely baby girl! Our hearts are full. Both the mother and the babies are doing exceptionally well. Thank you for all the love and blessings,” Chiranjeevi posted.
The “Mega Grandfather” couldn’t hide his excitement, noting that the arrival of the twins marks a historic chapter for the family. This news follows the birth of the couple’s first daughter, Klin Kaara Konidela, who was born in June 2023. With the arrival of the twins, the Konidela household is now officially a bustling hub of joy.
While the birth of twins can often be a complex medical event, the family has assured the public that everything went smoothly. Upasana, who has been a vocal advocate for maternal health and wellness through her platform Apollo Life, was admitted to the hospital late last night.
The medical team confirmed that Upasana and both infants are in stable condition. Ram Charan, who has been balancing his rigorous filming schedule for Game Changer and his upcoming project with Buchi Babu Sana, was reportedly by his wife’s side throughout the delivery.
Ram Charan and Upasana married in a grand ceremony in 2012, and their journey has been one of mutual respect, philanthropy, and shared success. While Ram Charan conquered the global box office with RRR, Upasana has carved a niche for herself as a leading businesswoman and healthcare dynamic.
The couple had waited eleven years before welcoming their first child, Klin Kaara, stating often that they wanted to be emotionally and professionally prepared for parenthood. The arrival of twins so soon after their first daughter has come as a delightful surprise to the fans, often referred to as the “Mega Fans.”
As soon as the news hit the wires, the film fraternity rushed to congratulate the couple. From Tollywood legends to Bollywood superstars, the “double blessing” has become the top trending topic in India.
- Jr NTR, Charan’s RRR co-star, was among the first to tweet: “Double the joy, double the fun! Congratulations Charan and Upasana. Welcome to the club of chaotic parenthood!”
- Allu Arjun, Charan’s cousin and the ‘Icon Star,’ shared a heartwarming post welcoming the “little Mega powerstars” to the family.
- Priyanka Chopra Jonas and other global celebrities also extended their wishes, highlighting the couple’s international standing.
Fans in Hyderabad began celebrating outside the “Mega Star” residence and Apollo Hospitals, distributing sweets and bursting crackers to mark the arrival of the “Mega Twins.”
While Ram Charan is currently basking in the joy of fatherhood, he has a massive slate of films lined up. However, industry insiders suggest that the actor will take a paternity break to spend quality time with Upasana and the three children.
His upcoming film, Peddi, directed by Buchi Babu Sana, is already in its final stages of post-production. The actor’s commitment to his family, however, remains his top priority. Upasana, too, is expected to take a hiatus from her corporate duties to focus on the twins’ early months.
The naming ceremony for the twins is expected to be a grand but private affair, following the traditional roots that the family holds dear. If Klin Kaara’s naming ceremony was any indication, the world can expect a name that is both deeply spiritual and culturally significant.
