Telugu superstar Ram Charan and businesswoman Upasana Konidela are one of the most loved couples in the film industry. Their love story started with friendship and ended with them being each other’s forever.
In a recent interview with Curly Tales, Upasana revealed how Ram once passed the test of love during their dating days with flying colours.
When Upasana Konidela put Ram Charan to a love test
Upasana recalls putting Ram Charan under a love test and said, “We were dating at that time, and I used to live closer to the old city. And I said, if you really love me, I want you to take me to the Famous Ice Cream, and Famous Ice Cream is in the middle of a market at that time, and he was a star by then. Everyone recognised him. So he said Okay, we went there, and we ordered ice cream on a date. We had people banging on our doors after that. It was the true test of his love, and he passed with flying colours.”
Talking about how their love evolved over the years, Upasana said, “We realised that we couldn’t have found a better match for each other. We were friends for about two years. No, we didn’t have sparks. It’s not so filmy; it’s not like Magadheera where we touched and felt the spark. We lived in reality.”
