Ram Charan 's wife Upasana Kamineni opens up on raising awareness about being a mother in the corporate world!

Entrepreneur- philanthropist and wife of Ram Charan, Upasana Kamineni Konidela is currently in her third trimester. In a recent interview she revealed that she is ‘due in July’. “Like every parent, we are also excited,” she says, adding how her husband has been ‘very supportive’ throughout her pregnancy. She adds, “The child will be allowed the freedom to be themselves, but with a certain set of guidelines and responsibility that they actually carry forward because sometimes fame comes with a huge responsibility and it must be valued.”

While being pregnant, Upasana, who is currently working, wants to be vocal about working mothers. “Why should motherhood be different from any other time in your life?” she questions. “I do have a lot of help but the thing is that I also want to be a hands-on mother. While being a hands-on mother, I want to try and strike the absolute balance between taking care of my child and my career at the same time. I’m still figuring out how I can use myself as an example to get more women back into the workforce as soon as possible without compromising the well-being of their child.” 

She further aims to bring awareness when it comes to motherhood in the corporate world. “Why is maternity leave only structured to six months and why not three months or nine months. And why cannot it be personalized?...Health care is very affordable in our country. We must know the different channels to actually afford it. While I have all this support I know my organization is going to take care of my childbirth. So insurance will cover me. So even I will be using insurance for my child birth.”
