Ram Charan has opened up about his parenting style, calling himself a “rough” dad in a recent interview. In an interview with Esquire India, Ram Charan spoke about what kind of father he is at home. When
asked if he is strict or fun, the actor said, “I’m the rough kind of dad. The one who lets them jump, play dirty, climb, and take risks. Their mother is the nurturing pole; I’m the one they come to when they want courage.” Talking about his children, Ram Charan shared how deeply they are at the centre of his life. He revealed that the entire house feels empty when they are not around, calling them his “heartbeat.” He also reflected on the kind of father he wants to be, especially while managing a demanding career. He said, “The biggest lesson we learn is from observing our parents. And I want to be a very, very present person first. And I want to be a present father. My pets and my core family… they’re my unit. I try to keep my world a little small, contained.” Ram Charan and Upasana got engaged in 2011 in Hyderabad and tied the knot in 2012. The couple welcomed their first child, Klin Kaara, in 2023. In January 2026, the family grew further as Upasana gave birth to twins — a boy and a girl. In February, Chiranjeevi announced their names, writing, “With boundless joy and divine grace, we are delighted to announce the beautiful names of our two little blessings: Shiva Ram Konidela & Anveera Devi Konidela.” He also shared that their son’s name is inspired by his own birth name, Shiva Shankara Vara Prasad, as well as Ram Charan, while their daughter’s name draws from Kanaka Durga Devi.
On the work front, Ram Charan is gearing up for the release of his upcoming film Peddi. The sports action drama is directed by Buchi Babu Sana and features Janhvi Kapoor, Shiva Rajkumar, Jagapathi Babu and Divyenndu in key roles.
