Why Ram-Upasana have kept Klin away from the limelight
The couple has made it a point to keep their daughter away from the public eye. In a recent interview with Hindustan Times, Kamineni Konidela explained why they have limited Klin's public appearances. "The world is a place that's changing so rapidly, and few incidents scare us as parents, but we also want to give a child the freedom to live." Notably, Klin's face was blurred out in the pregnancy announcement video as well.
Work
Meanwhile, on the work front
On the professional front, Charan is gearing up for his next film, Peddi. The actor has a busy schedule ahead with several projects in the pipeline. His last release was Game Changer, a political action drama that underperformed at the box office.
