Upasana Konidela reveals Sadhguru's advice she follows daily with daughter, says Klin Kaara ‘has to like it, no choice': ‘Look how glam his daughter is'
Ram Charan's wife and businesswoman Upasana Kamineni was over the moon when she welcomed her daughter Klin Kaara Konidela in 2023, almost 12 years after her marriage to the actor. In a recent interaction, Upasana spoke about ensuring her little one's meals are nutritious, with a special focus on traditional ingredients — particularly ragi, which she says is packed with nutritional value. In a conversation with Curly Tales, Upasana revealed that Indian guru and Isha Foundation founder Sadhguru advised her to give ragi to Klin daily. She said, 'Ragi is my favourite food and I make sure my daughter has ragi every day. Sadhguru told me, 'Make sure she has ragi in any form every day.'' Sadguru's daughter and Bharatanatyam dancer Radhe Jaggi vouched for traditional fermented drinks (kanji) and how the guru made sure she has one such drink everyday. Upasana shared, 'Sadguru's daughter told me that he would make kanji for her every day. Look how fit and glamorous she is and I want the same for my daughter, so I make her have ragi kanji.' When asked if Klin likes it, Upasana replied, 'She has to like it. There is no choice. It is non-negotiable.' During the same interaction, Upasana also spoke about Ram Charan's love for traditional South Indian food, revealing how he insists on having at least one traditional, home-cooked South Indian meal everyday even when they are travelling abroad and dining at some of the best restaurants in the world. She shared that this constant craving eventually inspired her to launch a venture selling dry home foods for travel purposes. She recalled, 'I started as a convenience because it was my problem. We used to go to the best restaurants in the world and then he would come and say, 'Okay, now I need Indian food.' I was like, 'Where will we find Indian food at 11:30 pm in the night?' Then we would go searching for Indian food in different countries because one meal of his has to be Indian, and it has to be breakfast or dinner. And not North Indian—his food has to be South Indian, and it has to be home-cooked. And when he is shooting, then it is a must.' She added, 'Now I travel with dry home foods everywhere. So I can just get everything ready in 10 minutes.'
