New mom Upasana Konidela has spoken out about how her actor-husband, Ram Charan, has helped her overcome her postpartum depression. The star wife opened up about the challenges of navigating motherhood and discussed her painful struggle with postpartum depression.
Speaking to The Times of India, Upasana credited Ram Charan for being her pillar of strength ‘through it all’. She also revealed that Ram moved in with her to her parents’ house when she was dealing with postpartum depression. She said, “My husband is my therapist and moved in with me to my parents’ place (after they had the baby). I understand that it’s not the same for all mothers, so it’s vital for them to prioritise their well-being and seek professional help when needed.”
Upasana continued, “Charan’s loving attention and participation in raising Klin Kaara has enriched this phase of my life even further. Even her eating habits mirror his; she’s a true Konidela. Transitioning into motherhood has been a profound journey, but certainly not without challenges.”
Ram Charan and Upasana have been married since 2012. In a 2023 interview with Masala, the actor disclosed that Upasana sometimes feels jealous of his close bond with his mother, Surekha, and his on-screen intimacy. Reflecting on their marriage a year later in an interview with the same website, Ram mentioned that it took some time for Upasana to grasp the dynamics of a film set, given her non-filmy background. He explained that he had to guide her through the workings of the film industry.
He had said, “I think she (Upasana) gets jealous when she sees the way I connect with my mother. As far as intimate scenes are concerned, I guess I shouldn’t lie about it. Yes, she was not comfortable with it initially. It’s understandable, she comes from a very different background, so it was hard for her to accept me doing these scenes. Frankly, I wasn’t sure she would understand, but to my surprise, she did! She’s very mature, and I love how she has blended into my family.”
