Ramcharan finally stepped out of his long rough phase after the post-RRR period. He moved past the issues created by the Pan India project Game Changer and its negative memories. He shifted his full focus to Buchi Babu’s Peddi.
Peddi started with strong momentum. Chikiri Chikiri turned into a sensation and sparked a flood of reels among Telugu and Hindi audiences. The response gave Ramcharan a fresh high after a long break from positive buzz.
This should have been a happy phase for Ramcharan, but his wife Upasana Konidela triggered an online storm with her comments during an interaction with students. She advised young girls to freeze their eggs and plan pregnancy based on their careers.
Her comments received heavy negativity. The next day, she tried to clarify by talking about privilege and saying her words had nothing to do with her Apollo business. The clarification only intensified the backlash and widened the discussion.
Mega fans also targeted her directly. Since she is the wife of a major star like Ramcharan, his name was dragged into the controversy as well. The situation created unnecessary pressure around him during an otherwise celebratory phase.
This is how online negativity works. Without intending to, Upasana triggered a wave of backlash for herself and pulled her husband into it. The timing hurt even more as Ramcharan should have been enjoying the Chikiri Chikiri success peacefully.
