Ram Charan gifts a Shetland pony to Upasana

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <div class="wp-caption alignleft" id="attachment_6190" style="width: 343px;"> <img alt="Ram Charan, gifts Upasana" class="size-full wp-image-6190" height="333" src="http://www.chiranjeeviblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/ram-charan-upasana.jpg" title="ram-charan-upasana" width="333" /><div class="wp-caption-text"> Ram Charan gifts shetland pony to Upasana</div> </div> A Shetland pony; that’s what Ram Charan Tej gifted his wife for her birthday on June 20. The star had been meaning to gift the miniature horse to Upasana for their wedding but finally managed to surprise her on her birthday and it turned out to be the best gift ever. “<em>It was one of those special moments in our life; she was taken by surprise with this cute-looking animal and I was floored when she said that it was the best birthday gift she had ever received. My four or five months’ effort to get it shipped from Ireland has paid off. I am not sure whether she would have reacted the same way if I had gifted a diamond set or a car,</em>” says Ram Charan with a hint of pride.<br /> The scion of the Chiranjeevi family took the help of a sailor friend who is also a breeder, to get the horse on time. “<em>It’s a rare miniature breed and quite a prized possession. It can grow to a maximum of 31 inches and has a life span of 14 to 15 years. My mother, with great heart, agreed to convert her garden in our backyard and build a small air-conditioned stable for our beloved pet, which has become the new pride of our house. However, my mother would never allow my other horses to join it and spoil the garden,</em>” he smiles.’ Moving on to other topics we ask the actor about his Twitter account which he has disbanded. “<em>It was creating unnecessary problems and almost invading my privacy,</em>” he says.<br /> “<em>For instance, I may wish a particular star on his birthday by calling him instead of posting it, but some people comment that I have differences with that star, so I haven’t wished him, which is ridiculous. It was meant to be a window to express my views but gradually I was forgoing my right and was being forced to comment on issues that I didn’t want to discuss. So it was better to disband it than develop differences with my colleagues and others,</em>” he points out.<br /> Charan also claims to be a great admirer of Bollywood star Priyanka Chopra who will act opposite him in the remake of Zanjeer. “<em>I enjoyed her brilliant performances in films like Fashion and Kaminey and she proved to be a class act with her no-holds-barred performance in Saat Khoon Maaf. So it is definitely a new challenge for me to match strides with the versatile actress and I am looking forward to working with her from September end,</em>” he confesses.<br /> He is also equally excited about producing his dad, Chiranjeevi’s 150th film. “T<em>wo things are for sure, I am going to produce it and dad is going to play the lead but other things are being worked out. Although my team is listening to scripts, we are all waiting for dad to give his final nod before it takes off,</em>” he concludes.</div>

Ram Charan, Upasana distribute clothes at Domakonda Fort

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <div class="post-content-single"> <span class="wpsr_floatbts_anchor"></span>Ram Charan and Upasana, the about to marry couple have done pooja at their traditional temple and distributed clothes to villagers in domakonda gadi, nizamabad, yesterday.<br />Megastar Chiranjeevi was spotted driving an electric car, taking the couple to their temple.<br /> <div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 610px;"> <img align="middle" alt="Ram Charan, Upasana Wedding Pooja" height="444" src="http://www.chiranjeeviblog.com/albums/Galleries/Special/Ramcharan_Upasana_Wedding/3.jpg" width="600" /> <div class="wp-caption-text"> Ram Charan, Upasana Wedding pooja photo</div> </div> If you’re expecting the much-awaited wedding of Ram Charan and Upasna Kamineni to be yet another ‘<em>big, fat Indian wedding</em>’, you’re wrong. Contrary to the current trend, flowers are not being flown in from Bangkok or Amsterdam, expensive cutlery is not being imported from Europe nor are chandeliers being bought from China. The wedding will be a stark contrast from the typical, ostentatious affairs in Hyderabad. Instead, the couple has employed artisans from the State and other parts of the country, to put together everything from the sets and the mandap to the decorations, with the aim of generating employment for them.<br /> <strong>SOCIALLY-CONSCIOUS SHAADI</strong><br />The bride-to-be, Upasna, who is overlooking the wedding details, tells us, “We wanted to give the wedding a personal touch, so we came up with the idea of a marriage with an emphasis on various social causes. Post the wedding, we will travel to Tirumala to seek the blessing of Lord Venkateshwara, after which we’ll travel to Aragonda, the ancestral village of my grandfather, Dr Prathap C Reddy, where we plan to inaugurate a drinking water plant. We are also gifting 300 saris to the residents of Domakonda after I perform my religious rituals at the temple.”<br /> Event stylist Dinaz Noria who’s doing the decor for the couple’s wedding ceremonies, reveals, “<em>Both Charan and Upasna were keen on generating employment through their wedding rather than just opting for those lavish sets. They would pick designs that would involve the most number of artisans.</em>”<br />Speaking about the work underway at the Kamineni farm, Temple Tree, Dinaz says, “<em>An unusual art form of suspending hand-blown glass from ceilings was showcased by a team from National Institute of Design (NID), Ahmedabad here. This art form is being used in the wedding. A Nandi is being put together with lotus-shaped hand-blown glass balls made by artisans from Moradabad and Firozabad.</em>” The mandi at the wedding is crafted with beads that are hand-woven in Firozabad.<br />“<em>The block-printing artisans are working on the table linen and chairs and people from Marathwada in Maharashtra are doing the flower-weaving. Florists from various parts of the country like Coimbatore are roped in. The decor will be mostly handmade. Apart from the florists, flower weavers and the hand-blown glass artisans, everything else is being done locally in AP— from the structures to the air-conditioning.</em>”<br /> <strong>MAKING A DIFFERENCE</strong><br />The couple will seek the Lord’s blessings in Tirupati after the wedding on Saturday morning.<br />The same evening, the couple will head to Aragonda, a village near Chittor town, which is the hometown of Upasna’s grandfather, Dr Prathap C Reddy, to fulfil his dream of donating a water treatment plant for the villagers.<br />Charan and Upasna identified certain orphanages in Hyderabad and Secunderabad and they have already started making trips to them.<br />Ram Charan will be hosting a grand reception for his fans on Friday evening. Wedding with a heart<br /> <strong>SHIVA-PARVATHI THEME:</strong><br />Talking about the wedding’s traditional theme, Dinaz says, “Upasna is a big Shiv bhakt and the wedding will have a Shiva-Parvathi theme. Inspiration for the mandap is drawn from the same and will be designed by Tollywood art director, Anand Sai. He has also made a Shiva mandir near the mandap where all the prewedding pujas will be done. Work is already on in fullswing at the sprawling eightacre farm near the Himayathsagar lake for the celebrations. “<em>The wedding will have a walkway courtyard., the main mandap area and the food section will together be spread over 70,000 sq. ft. The whole look will be extremely traditional,</em>” she adds.<br /> <strong>GIFTS FOR CHARITY:</strong><br />As part of their philanthropic efforts, the duo has requested guests to donate the wedding gifts to charity. “<em>Charan and Upasna have asked guests not to bring gifts. And for those who still wanted to give them a wedding gift, they have made a plea to donate the gifts to Upasna’s charity foundation, Save A Child’s Heart Initiative (SACHi),</em>” says Dinaz.</div> </div>

The source adds that the Mega family is also hosting a sangeet three days before the wedding at a local film studio.<br /> Meanwhile, the wedding venue – the farmhouse of the Apollo family – is currently being prepped up for the private affair. Sources add that since the list of invitees includes prominent international guests too, efforts are on to keep this affair as elegant as they can. Buzz is that only those who are very close to both the families will be a part of this wedding extravaganza. Both families are also hosting two separate parties for their respective guests – while the Apollo family’s party is on June 13, the Mega Family is hosting theirs on June 14. <br /> Keep visiting for more….<br /> </div>
