The superstar Ram Charan, who has achieved global fame starring alongside Jr NTR in SS Rajamouli's period-action blockbuster RRR and his wife Upasana Kamineni Konidela, an accomplished entrepreneur and philanthropist, are all set to welcome their first baby in India. The couple announced their first pregnancy back in December 2022.
During Ram Charan's recent visit to the USA, he talked to Dr. Jennifer Ashton, one of the most famous gynaecologists in America who serves as the anchor of GMA3: What You Need to Know (the afternoon spin-off of the national morning show Good Morning America) where the Indian actor was invited to talk about RRR and its chances at the Oscars.
When Ashton congratulated Ram on him soon becoming a father, he said, "Glad, I met you. I will be taking your number, my wife's going to be in the US for a while". To which the physician had replied, "Perfect, I am available to travel with you all over the world. It will be my honour to deliver your first baby."
After this clip went viral, rumors spread that the couple might be planning to welcome their firstborn in the USA. Putting rest to all such speculations, Upasana herself reacted to the clip and wrote, "Dr. Jen Ashton, you are too sweet. Waiting to meet you. Pls join our @HospitalsApollo family in India along with Dr. Sumana Manohar & Dr. Rooma Sinha to deliver our baby. A big shout-out to all the viewers of @ABCGMA3 & @AlwaysRamCharan's fans & well-wishers. U are much loved".
