Upasana Konidela takes us inside Ram Charan and her stunning South Indian-style Hyderabadi villa
Upasana Kamineni Konidela, Vice Chairperson – CSR – Apollo Hospitals, and wife to Telugu superstar Ram Charan, recently opened up her house for a rare visit. The power couple, who generally like to keep away from public and media scrutiny, took host and interviewer Kamiya Jani around for a tour around their luxe Hyderabad house, flanked by manicured gardens and lush greenery. Soft white exteriors juxtaposed with glass accents give it a modern-day royal palace look. Despite being located in the middle of a bustling city, their home manages to retain a vintage, earthy feel. The fact that the couple enjoys nature is well reflected in the bits and pieces scattered all around. The seating area outside features plush patio furniture, perfect for enjoying breezy evenings and a cup of tea. Their garage is well concealed in the exterior with creepers replacing a heavy gate. Step inside the house and you are welcomed by a living room that transports you back to a traditional South Indian home, with rich upholstered sofas and chairs and black and white flooring. Old school windows allow sun rays to peek through and bathe the room in light and shadows. A blend of modern design and a nod to their cultural roots. A post shared by Curly Tales | A Fork Media Group Co. (@ Catching a break in between the house tour, Upasana spilled the tea on who among the two can tolerate spicy food, and Charan's love for rasam. 'We used to go to the best restaurants in the world, and then he would come back and say, 'Okay, now, I need Indian food, where are we going to find Indian food?' She shared how any of his meals of the day have to be Indian, and South Indian in particular. From antique wooden artifacts, traditional showpieces, and unique collectibles sourced from travels around the world, the interior decor is an amalgamation of their travels and lived experiences. A larger-than-life black horse statue takes up space in the living room, complemented by lush green indoor plants, antique lamps, and an antique clock. The house also draws inspiration from South Indian culture, with ventilation and wooden panels that allow just the right amount of privacy while opening up the space to neighbours and guests. A grand dining hall features a large dinner table sitting underneath a chandelier, which throws off warm golden light.

Since childhood, I've seen my grandparents and parents have the utmost faith in God. Faith provided a very powerful grounding for me.

She added, 'Things started changing when I began reading the story. I became more positive. People around me also started becoming more positive. These small changes helped me realise that I was becoming a better person. That's why this Vrat means so much to me. If you're at a roadblock, if things aren't going your way, try some form of Vrat. I believe that faith heals more than anything in this world.'

Hyderabad: A CSR campaign titled 'Detect Early, Fight Early' was launched by Upasana Kamineni Konidela, Vice Chairperson, CSR, Apollo Hospitals on Wednesday. The campaign focuses on creating awareness about breast cancer and the need for early detection. The campaign will be held in 24 cities across the country, reaching a total of 1.5 lakh women.

The 'Detect Early, Fight Early' campaign has been launched to overcome these challenges. It will provide credible, culturally sensitive information at the local level. It will organise respectful public discussions, workshops, and awareness sessions to ensure that women pay more attention to their health. Thus, they will recognise their symptoms early, understand them through self-examinations, and seek treatment at the right time. Fujifilm India Managing Director Koji Wada said, 'Breast cancer can be prevented through early detection and awareness. With this campaign, our goal is to provide adequate awareness to women, detect this disease early and save as many lives as possible.'
