Inside Ram Charan and Upasana Konidela's palatial Hyderabad home with sprawling gardens and luxe interiors
Telugu superstar Ram Charan and his wife Upasana Konidela, may be among the biggest names in Indian cinema, but the couple prefers to keep their personal life away from the constant glare of the spotlight. Recently, however, Upasana offered a rare glimpse of their Hyderabad home during an interview with Curly Tales. From the moment you enter, the property feels like a serene retreat. A paved pathway flanked by a manicured garden leads to the entrance, where the lush greenery almost makes you forget you're in the middle of a bustling city. The house itself, painted in a soft white and accented with glass, appears regal yet welcoming –like a modern palace nestled amid a forest. The outdoor spaces are an extension of the home's charm. The sit-out area is styled with plush patio furniture, offering the perfect spot to enjoy Hyderabad's breezy evenings. True to the couple's love for nature, even the garage blends seamlessly into the greenery, its entrance concealed by cascading creepers instead of a heavy gate. Step inside, and the home's interiors reveal an artful mix of modern design and regional heritage. The living room exudes elegance with traditional black gates that frame the entrance and lend the space a traditional South Indian feel. Multiple seating arrangements — ranging from woven sofas to richly upholstered chairs –are scattered around the rooms. The black-and-white flooring adds a touch of old-world royalty. The sunlight streaming through the traditionally designed large windows keeps the vibe vibrant. Every corner of the home tells a story through its decor. Antique wooden artifacts, traditional showpieces, and unique collectibles sourced from travels around the world lend the interiors a sophisticated look. One striking element is the massive black horse statue displayed prominently in the living room — a centerpiece that instantly draws the eye. Complementing these are indoor plants, ornate lamps, and an antique clock. The layout of the home takes inspiration from traditional South Indian houses, with ventilated wooden shutters that allow air to flow freely while preserving privacy. Outside, the sprawling garden is as meticulously curated as the interiors. From flowering shrubs to manicured lawns and strategically placed potted plants, giving the house a resort-like feel. The dining area of the house is equally grand, featuring a large table beneath a luxurious chandelier that bathes the room in warm, inviting light. The space blends modern elegance with traditional charm, balancing luxury and warmth.
