Ram Charan and Upasana Konidela announce the names of their twins; Here what they mean

Following the arrival of their twins, a baby boy and a girl, on January 31, Ram Charan and Upasana Konidela have joyfully introduced their newborns to the world. The couple celebrated an intimate naamkaran (naming) ceremony at their Hyderabad home, where they revealed the names of their children. Their son has been christened Shivram, while their daughter has been named Anveera Devi, marking a special moment for the family.

Insights into the Naming Ceremony and Names

Ram Charan and Upasana Konidela shared the significance of their children's names and offered a glimpse into the naming ceremony during a conversation with Variety India. They delved into the meaning behind Shivram and Anveera Devi, providing a deeper understanding of the choices and the sentiments attached to them. The couple also shared special details from the intimate ceremony, giving fans a closer look at this significant family event.

Opening up about the same, Ram said, Naming them was a deeply personal and spiritual decision for both of us. Upasana and I discussed it extensively, but our parents were very much part of the journey. In our culture, elders bring wisdom and blessings, so their presence in that process meant a lot to us. Our son’s name, Shivram, reflects two eternal ideals – Lord Shiva and Lord Rama – strength with restraint, devotion with righteousness. It also carries forward my father’s birth name, Shiv Shankar Vara Prasad, so there’s lineage and gratitude woven into it. Our daughter’s name, Anveera Devi, represents boundless courage and divine feminine strength. ‘Veera’ signifies bravery, and ‘An’ expands it to something limitless. The ‘Devi’ is intentional – a reminder that strength and grace can co-exist. For us, these names are not just identifiers. They are aspirations of strength, love and courage.

Upasana Reflects on Motherhood

During the conversation, Upasana also shared her reflections on becoming a mother for the second time. She expressed that motherhood feels calmer and more conscious this time around.

The first time, everything is new – beautiful, but overwhelming. This time, I feel much more relaxed and grounded. I’ve learned to let go of a lot, and now I don’t panic over the small things anymore. Stability, routine, and unconditional love – that’s really all the little ones need right now. Managing twins is magical. I’m only a week into it, so I don’t want to speak too soon – but there’s an extraordinary sense of fulfillment watching all three of my children together… Ram has been incredibly hands-on, especially with Kaara, she said.

Adding to this, Upasana added, “My father always believed that clarity of intention and faith go hand in hand. Today, I feel incredibly blessed to be a mother of three, exactly as we envisioned. Our hope is to raise children who are strong yet compassionate, aware that privilege carries responsibility - and that true legacy lies in giving back.

About the twins

It has recently come to light that Ram and Upasana sought guidance from an astrologer to determine the optimal delivery time for their twins. Additionally, they arranged for an alchemist to offer prayers at a temple prior to the twins' arrival.

Ram Charan and Upasana Konidela's journey began with an engagement in December 2011, culminating in their wedding in June 2012. Upasana, the vice-chairman of Apollo Charity, and Ram had a friendship that blossomed into a relationship over the years. Their family grew in June 2023 with the arrival of their first child, a daughter named Klin Kaara.
