Ram Charan-Upasana anniversary: From friendship to love, and now to parenthood

Tollywood’s star couple Ram Charan and Upasana are celebrating their wedding anniversary today. The couple got married in 2012 and have been together for 11 years, garnering widespread attention for being a match made in heaven. With such a fulfilling journey, they have been setting relationship and couple goals, both with their married and professional lives.

After their anniversary last year, the couple announced their desire to start a family. On December 12, 2022, the couple announced their pregnancy. They await their new beginnings with excitement, celebrating every moment with great baby showers and intimate parties. At this pivotal point, here is a glimpse into their journey.

Ram Charan and Upasana meet
The dashing megastar and the gorgeous power woman met way back during college. At first sight, both the individuals had starkly contrasting personalities, Ram Charan loving his quiet time and Upasana being an extrovert. They had a long friendship of 7-years which slowly transcribed into a relationship. But this realisation happened post their college days, when Upasana was overseas and Ram Charan was building his career.

Realisation of Love
As their distant friendship kept them apart, this was the time they realised that there may be something more to the story. Ram Charan revealed in an interview that he started dating Upasana after filming his iconic movie Magadheera. During the filming was when he realised how much he missed her. 

He has also talked about the moment of realisation, stating, ‘One fine day, what my dad had told me years ago about my career came back to me. He had told me that I was looking everywhere while sitting on the pot of gold. The scenario seemed similar now. Here was a girl, my friend of 7 years, everybody was able to see her as my ideal partner and I was being oblivious. That’s when I realised that I was waiting to find the right girl while I had her with me all along. My perspective underwent a transformation.”
