Upasana Konidela reveals if it’s difficult to be a superstar’s wife
When asked if it’s difficult being married to a superstar, Upasana replied that no marriage is easy and that every relationship has its ups and downs – theirs is no different. However, they have a lot of respect for each other. Speaking about their successful marriage, she said, “We come in as equals; we understood that quite early in our marriage. He’s a very, very secure man. And only a secure man will support a woman and push her to do more. That’s what he does for me. Being there with me through my ups and downs, and me being there with him, is our secret sauce. And of course, marriage is not a bed of roses. We have our whole family around us, and our family is our support system — whether it’s his side or mine.”
Upasana on how she, Ram Charan balance career and marriage
Discussing how they manage their careers and relationship together, she shared that they make it a habit to have a date night once a week: “Managing our schedules so that we get adequate time with each other is so important. My mum used to tell us that once a week, you have to have a date night. It’s so important, and we try to do that as much as possible. Date night is at home, with no distractions like the TV or phones. This is something important that we’ve institutionalised in our minds. If we have a problem with each other, we definitely talk about it. Communication is something that we’re still building, and will continue to build until we die. These are things in a marriage that are accepted, but you have to work on them every day. You can’t give up. It’s like breathing.”
